TITLE : fewpoints AUTHOR : Mikael Meinho DATE : 2026-03-05 CONCEPT ------- On March 5, 2026 at 6:00 PM (CET), a countdown of the seconds in a decade will begin on the project page, marking the first cycle of FewPoints. For ten years, this countdown will run without interruption. At its end, on March 5, 2036 at 6:00 PM (CET), a first dot will appear beneath the countdown — one dot for one decade. The counter will then reset to 315,360,000 seconds and a new cycle will begin. No end is planned. Dots will accumulate as the decades pass. One dot for ten years, five dots for fifty years, ten dots for a century. CONSTITUTIVE RULES ------------------ 1. The unit of time is the decade The minimal cycle of the work is ten years. No action, no visible event occurs at a smaller scale. 2. The manifestation is a dot At the end of each decade, a single dot appears. No text, no image, no sound — only a dot. 3. The countdown is continuous and uninterruptible The counter runs without pause, without possible intervention, without exception. 4. Accumulation is the only progression Dots accumulate without disappearing. The work does not repeat — it thickens. 5. No end is planned The work has no intended conclusion. Its duration exceeds any intention of the author. 6. The temporal scale exceeds a human lifetime Ten dots represent a century. The work is structurally destined for witnesses the author will never know.
