A case for paper.
Is drawings on paper two dimensional or three dimensional art? You probably say two unless you are facitious, paper is in the three dimensions by its skin, but it is considered two dimensional like a picture.
A sheet of paper contains (x) pixels, that can be filled with (x) colors in (in)finite possible arrangements. These exist almost in the two dimensions; a drawing contains an elaborate and endemic mass of information in a nearly-disappearable form.
Such is the nature of life; zip files.
What environment to pull an arguing fact from… that one tobacco plant can produce a million seeds? Ten million viruses in a drop of sea water? Bacteria are not viruses.
One decimal between seconds, in one room, or one part of the sidewalk, if that’s all that existed, and you put that feeling in a vacuum:
(considering a group): the lingering pulls and pushes of every person in the space in that thin section. (What is the minimum split-second that, if I swapped minds with you, I wouldn’t notice? Swapped bodies?).
Or, (considering one perzon): the magnitude of sensual information gathered in an instant is not codeable.
The baffling nature of exponents exists in both (body) and (mind). Maybe that’s coincidence, although I can’t entertain the possibility that one would be plain like math. Regardless, this incomprehensible nature exists in different, yet related, ways in both realms.
I don’t care much for debating if art is to describe life; sometimes it is.
