The newly-formed group boards a boat that takes them across the lake, to the pier of Paul de Kort’s work PIER+HORIZON. The pier carries them to a stand with orange dots. Here, the participants can see the second half of the group drawing near through the geometric new land of Flevoland’s Noordoostpolder.

After arriving at the remaining dots, the group sings a chord composed by Moorman: a sound that envelops the sixty-four participants within a temporary purple rectangle. After eight minutes, the chord draws to a close and the group disperses.
