This is a typed page with black text on white paper. It looks like instructions for some kind of art performance. The words are packed tightly, with numbered lists and short paragraphs. One section talks about wrapping and sealing containers with strange noises inside. Another mentions a canned woman’s laugh. The artist’s name, Benjamin Patterson, is printed at the bottom. The instructions read like a mix of science and humor. One part even says to use garbage trucks as containers. It’s all very odd but clear. Look up Benjamin Patterson next to see more of his work.
