One and Three Chairs (HTTP)

after Joseph Kosuth, One and Three Chairs, 1965 — the web edition, in which the chair never arrives.

(nothing)
The chair. A live <chair> element sits in this panel. The browser knows no such thing, so it renders nothing. HTTP carries no objects — only their rumours.
A photograph of a chair. Drawn fresh on every visit — never the same picture twice. The image is the only term here that proliferates.
chair /tʃɛə/ n.
  1. a separate seat for one person, typically with a back and four legs.
  2. the person in charge of a meeting or organization.
  3. a professorship.
The meaning of the word “chair.” Language is the one thing the web transmits intact. It also never sat anyone down.
