"Stanley Brouwn began working with distance and direction in the early 1960s. During this period he made work by asking random pedestrians to describe a route to another point in town. The resulting sketch or unmarked piece of paper if the description were entirely verbal, would then be stamped This way Brouwn. In the early 70s, Brouwn began to make books. In one of his first publications, 100 this-way-brouwn problems for computer IBM 360 model 95, Brouwn lists This Way Brouwn questions to be posed to a computer beginning with: "show Brouwn the way in all cities, villages, etc. on earth from point x to all other points in that cities, villages etc." Too complex for even a computer to solve, this list of questions is designed to reveal the infinitely complex possibilities implicit in the idea of a This Way Brouwn."
