In this piece, the artist took the half-lives of each of the eleven decay patterns used and multiplied them each up proportionally to the length of time that it would take the artist to perform. These times add up to 32.0625 minutes. The 11 patterns were drawn and erased repeatedly for 11 sessions of 32.0625 minutes.
