account - let’s roll the dice

(don’t) loose the thread: paint and write this is way to common thinking standard, though

Let’s start with exploring with writing only:

Writing in three dimensions explores the concept of expanding traditional, linear writing (typically confined to the two-dimensional page or screen) into a more dynamic and spatial form. It involves thinking of text as something that can exist in physical space, interact with the environment, and be experienced from multiple perspectives simultaneously. This concept merges elements of visual art, sculpture, and interactive storytelling, and can be explored through several lenses:

1. Visual and Spatial Writing

Three-dimensional writing can involve text in physical form, where the words themselves take on a sculptural quality. This approach redefines how writing is perceived and interacted with by adding depth, volume, and tactile elements.

Examples:

basically both examples are more 2D than 3d though

Implications:

2. Interactive and Kinetic Writing

Three-dimensional writing can also be kinetic, engaging with movement and time. Rather than being static, the text can change form, shape, or position in response to interaction or over the course of time.

Examples:

Time though is the 4th dimension in SpaceTime/TimeSpace continuum
therefore it doesn’t really count

Implications:

3. Narrative in 3D Space

Moving beyond linear writing, stories can be told spatially, where the reader navigates through physical or virtual environments that reveal pieces of the narrative. This can be seen as an evolution of traditional storytelling, where the plot unfolds based on where the reader chooses to go or how they interact with objects or text.

Examples:

Implications:

4. Architectural and Environmental Writing

This concept extends to writing as architecture, where the structure itself becomes a text, and the experience of moving through space becomes an act of reading. Architectural forms, sculptures, or environmental designs can embody language, with meaning revealed as the individual navigates or inhabits the space.

Examples:

Implications:

5. Conceptual and Philosophical Dimensions

Three-dimensional writing can also represent more conceptual or philosophical explorations, such as the interplay between time, space, and meaning in storytelling or expression. In this context, 3D writing engages with how language and narrative can be experienced non-linearly or multi-dimensionally, reflecting complex structures of thought, memory, and consciousness.

Expanding the Possibilities of Text Writing in 3D

It pushes the boundaries of traditional narrative and language by integrating text with physical and digital space, creating multi-sensory, interactive, and spatial experiences. By incorporating aspects of visual art, sculpture, architecture, and technology, three-dimensional writing enables stories and messages to unfold in new, immersive ways, challenging our understanding of what it means to read and write in the modern world.

The dice is a perfect example of counting, account, writing and painting in and with 3d.

the dice is an interactive random and gaming tool

The dice, in its various forms, serves as a profound symbol and tool for understanding the relationship between painting and writing as intertwined processes, particularly in how they account for and recount experiences through different mediums. Both painting and writing are rooted in creating mental imagery, or “mind-pictures,” and they share key aspects of structure, randomness, and interpretation, which the dice helps illustrate.

3D Representation of Creative Process

The dice, whether cubic or in other shapes like tetrahedral, octahedral, or dodecahedral, represents a multi-dimensional space where outcomes can shift and vary depending on the angle or face presented. This mirrors how both painting and writing operate in three-dimensional mental spaces. Each face or side of a dice can be thought of as a potential facet of a story, a visual element, or a symbolic meaning that unfolds in the mind of the observer. When a dice rolls, it transitions between these facets, creating a seamless movement between possibilities, much like how painting transitions into writing and vice versa, depending on how meaning is structured and conveyed.

Transition Between Accounts and Recounts

The act of rolling a dice represents an account—a single action with a measurable result. The faces that appear are much like brushstrokes on a canvas or words on a page, marking a moment of creative decision. However, each roll also invites recounting—the interpretation and reconsideration of the outcome. This mirrors the process of engaging with art or literature, where both are subject to re-reading or re-viewing, and new interpretations can arise, shifting the narrative or visual meaning. The dice symbolizes the transition between these stages, as the outcome of one roll impacts the next, reflecting how painting and writing evolve as fluid expressions of creativity.

Structure, Symbols, and Chance

The dice also encapsulates the balance between structure and chance inherent in both art forms. Both painting and writing have foundational structures—whether it’s composition, form, narrative, or syntax—that guide the overall creative process. The numbered sides of the dice symbolize these defined elements that structure creative work. Yet, the element of chance, which comes into play with each roll, reflects the unpredictability and creative spontaneity that can arise in both painting and writing. The way a dice lands is never entirely controlled, just as inspiration or interpretation can take unexpected turns. This element of chance creates a dynamic that allows for new ideas, new combinations, and novel expressions.

Mind-Pictures in Three Dimensions

Ultimately, the dice serves as a tool of 3-dimensional painting and writing in the mind. It encapsulates the idea that both forms of expression move beyond their physical dimensions. Whether through color and composition in painting or through words and narrative in writing, both forms create mental images that engage with the viewer or reader’s imagination in multi-layered, often non-linear ways. Like the dice, which moves in three-dimensional space, painting and writing construct mind-pictures that are vivid, shifting, and alive in the mind’s eye, moving between layers of meaning, symbols, and interpretations.

Transition of Mediums

The dice, particularly in its variant forms, shows the fluid transition between painting and writing. Each side can be seen as a distinct mode of expression, but it is in the rolling, turning, and transitioning from one face to another that the creative process truly becomes unified. The interplay of forms, like painting becoming narrative, or writing transforming into visual description, reflects this dynamic, where neither medium is static but rather constantly evolving. The dice’s capacity to embody these shifts underscores how painting is like writing, and vice versa, as they converge through the dimensional transitions between visual and literary expression.

In sum, the dice is not merely an analogy but a three-dimensional model of how painting and writing operate as interrelated forms of storytelling and accounting. Through its multi-faceted nature, the dice represents the ongoing transition between the two, where mind-pictures, accounts, and recounts move seamlessly across dimensions, offering ever-new outcomes and interpretations.
