“Composition verticale/horizontale à 3 éléments” is a programme that generates and lays out on the screen three horizontal and/or vertical lines, and prints a document (A4) presenting the graphic composition and its description in the form of coordinates. (…) you have a graphic composition that is generated at the same time as its description. One does not precede the other.
If you measure the printed lines, the dimensions and positions obtained really do correspond to the description given on the print-out, and conversely, if you do a drawing following the written instructions, you will end up with the same composition. But here the two events happen at the same time. (…)”
