In this first interactive piece by Dieter Kiessling the monitor is divided into a white area («quit») and a black area («continue»). Clicking on «quit» closes the work, but if the user clicks on «continue» the screen of the monitor divides into four sections, then, at the next stage, into eight – and so on until all that is visible is a grey area in which «quit» and «continue» alternate on individual pixels. At this stage the user is faced not with options but with chance decisions.
