-referring from "the perfect human" by jorgen leth, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIjNv2b5C8Q&feature=related, develop your narrative of the perfect human located in lubbock. just as lars von trier grounded the perfect human through his five obstructions, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0354575/, you too must localize the perfect human in the alleyways of tech terrace through the tool/device found on-site.

"how does such a number function?"
"what can a perfect human do?"
"the room is boundless and radiant with light. it is an empty room. here are no boundaries, here is nothing."
"walking, running, jumping, falling"
"how does he fall?"
"how does she lie down?"
"how does the perfect human eat?"
