constraint III
1. Go to a library or some other large collection of books and select a book.
2. Open that book to a random page.
3. Copy down all the nouns in the first full line of text on that page. Separate them with commas. You may omit proper nouns if desired.
4. Count the words you've transcribed so far.
5. Proceed to the next book on the shelf; open to the page that corresponds to the number generated by Step 4, and then return to Step 3. Proceed in this fashion until you have 100 nouns.
6. Title the resultant list Arrangement. (If you like, you may embellish your title with adjectives or prepositional phrases: First Arrangement, Arrangement in Black and White, etc.) |
