> When Martin walked by the drawing, he misread it.  He thought it said, "This drawing while turning on a computer."
> 
> Later he noticed the gap. He confessed the misread and proposed to make something from the misread, 'this drawing while.."
> In that frustrating and neglected gap of time and space when no one knows what to do and has to wait.

> We have the he idea to draw (Christina) and write (Martin) something every morning in a certain short number of minutes (a fixed time, every day, no more, no less),
> during the period/interval of turning on the computer.  As if, this interval is 'while SHED while FIELD' .
