Mark Fox taught me a game called Random Entry about a quarter of a century ago. 

The game begins when each player creates an artistic response to a stimuli that was thrust upon them by someone else. Each player is given a different stimuli.

The players are then given a tightly constrained amount of time – usually about 15 minutes – to complete their creative responses. The group then experiences and reacts to each other’s creative response.

Creative efforts are evaluated by three criteria:

1. Is the original stimuli clearly present in the creative response?

2. Did the player transform the original stimuli into a new work of art that carries a significantly different message?

3. Does the message of that new work of art ring true, and does it make sense?

To begin my little solo game of Random Entry, I decided that I would write song lyrics about whatever new painting Marcel Flisiuk posted in his upcoming weekly update, and that I would then post that song on our Absurdocrats channel.

Marcel calls the painting (below) “Glacier.”

I call the song that sprang from it, “Invisible People.”
