Three Standard Stoppages-Marcel Duchamp

Duchamp dropped three threads, each a meter long, on to the same number of Prussian blue cloths/canvas. Then they were stuck to the surfaces without any adjustments to the curves that chance dictated they fell into. He then cut up the cloth and stuck it to glass plates, finally encasing them in a wooden box. A few wooden "rulers," which were cut following the same curves, were added.
The title of this piece is also, in part, the result of chance. Schwarz explains, "[Duchamp] decided upon the title when, during a stroll, he spotted the sign Stoppages ("invisible meaning") over a shop on the rue Claude Bernard, in Paris. From the tailor's use of sewing to his own experiments with the material seemed a natural step" (595).

This is a reference I looked up today, Phil mentioned about this last week about the ruler.

It can brought to my project, simply using the similar idea, an unit of measurement in my swerved perspective where dust cloud replaces. A "swerved meter" ruler for measuring the fluctuation of the dust trace and the trajectory of the moving object. This component then could be placed on the war bunker, a device for measuring the trajectory of the bullet flying towards the concrete wall. I'm not sure how to make this swerved ruler work now, but it might derive from the idea of the previous exploration. The cotton tread inside the dust vessel.
