The cover presents a small black bear-like object on a red ground; inside, the publication moves through documentation, drawings, performance images, props, text, and residues from \u003cem\u003eThe Black Factory\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pages register Pope.L’s method as circulation rather than illustration. Rubber ducks, bottled water, diagrams, handwritten plans, chocolate, cornflakes, inflatable forms, and street actions appear as components in a larger operating system. The object is comic, unstable, and difficult to neutralise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded are references to \u003cem\u003eThe Great White Way\u003c\/em\u003e, Pope.L’s long-running crawl begun in 2002, and \u003cem\u003eThe Black Factory\u003c\/em\u003e, a mobile social project in which objects associated with blackness were collected, transformed, archived, and redistributed.
