We live in an uncertain world, with much reference to many
issues being in a "grey area". I would like to build that grey
area in order to look at those issues. In my grey area,
everything would naturally be grey. To visit the area would
entail wearing only grey clothes, and having your hair
and face
made up to match, as the grey area is sort of devoid of
colour. Everything within the grey area would be an
approximation, free of absolutes, and blurred into a gloomy
haze. Folk you might meet there would sort of know you, but
maybe they wouldn't. There would be an uncertainty bar, but
you might not be able to find it. There would be vague things
to do, and undo, but they would never really get finished, or
possibly even started. The location of the Grey Area would
also be uncertain, but on the other hand it could be known
as everyone already refers to what's in it. In fact the only
thing certain about The Grey Area, is that it's in a grey area
itself.

it would make you feel like an alien... |

|
Would separate locations be designated as "arbitrarily black and white" areas? |

I could be, but it's a matter for discussion - depends on a
number of factors |

This seems to describe my first two years at college. Hmmm, also how I feel after a few shots of Tequila. |
|
|
[xen] I'm not sure it's even a matter for discussion, that too rests on a whole raft of unnecessarily dependable assumptions, or at least, it might do. |

Sounds like an art project for the next Burning Man. |
|
|
Youre one of my coworkers? |
|
|
Careful. The men in grey hear everything. |
|
|
Can I go to the Grey Area and shop in the Grey Market? SIp Earl Grey tea? Watch the Grey Cup game? |

[Shz], Holstein cow orkers are prohibited (because they're black and white). |
|
|
I think this is a cool idea, worthy of a bun, but I'm not sure which category it fits into... |
