ONE PIXEL LESS

ONE PIXEL LESS / PROTOCOL

How ONE PIXEL LESS works

Billions of possible positions. You receive one. You may remove it once. The world remembers the absence.

  1. 1. Enter as an Observer

    The artwork is the entrance. You arrive anonymously with no account, username, avatar, profile, score, or inventory. You are free to pan, zoom, and watch the shared world change.

  2. 2. Receive one signal

    Choose FIND MY PIXEL and the server assigns one available logical pixel. You are not teleported to it. A signal points through WORLD, REGION, SECTOR, CLUSTER, and finally PIXEL.

  3. 3. Find your pixel

    Explore with the signal's direction and distance as your guide. When you reach the exact position, the world focuses and asks one question: keep existing, or disappear?

  4. 4. Decide once

    Keeping the pixel changes nothing. Holding to disappear is permanent. The filled point fades into a dark void, the global artwork updates, and there is no undo.

  5. 5. Return as a Witness

    After disappearing, this anonymous browser cannot claim again. It can still explore, observe nearby changes, share the void, and return to the same coordinate with FIND MY ABSENCE.
