Remember your name, rank and inventory.

Examine bluescreen. Ponder that that style of BSOD hasn't been used for a hell of a long time, and must therefore be a deep artistic statement. Perhaps about the intangible peripheralness of art when just stored as digital information and shown upon technological viewing devices.

>>262128
Go through the open door to look for art supplies. You shall damn well make your own art and be proud of it!

[meta]Changing the viewpoint from first to second person[/meta]

My inventory contains only my combat jumpsuit, helmet, a can of soft drink and ten credit bill.

My rank? I dunno, the officers just call us cannon fodder. I can't seem to remember my name though, maybe you can help me with it?

>>262145
If you are to be an artiste, the first thing you must develop is a massive sense of self-importance and accompanying arrogance.

Pour some of the soft drink onto your scrunched-up left trouserleg (the leftness is important as a metaphor for individuality). The shape of stain pattern it leaves is now the symbol which represents your name.

Yup, looks like a bluescreen all right.
Seems like there's no art to be found in it.

You summon your all pretensiousness and self righteousness and pour the soft drink on your left leg in one fell artistic statement.

Not pretentious enough. There's totally a "T" shape in that stain (yes there is, don't argue, being an artiste means being confident that you're always right), which therefore represents the physical reality---but what is body? No. Your mind---your very essence---shall simple be known as "Ar".

Yes! By forgetting my name I have become alike to the amnesiac heroes of jrpgs. Since acquiring art is my new goal in life, it should be reflected in my very identity. These two aspects of me coexist, forming harmonious contrast with each other, underlining my cubistical side. From now onwards, I am known as AnimAr!

That doesn't sound artistic at all.

Instead, you have been gifted with the powers to an livin art piece, now the world is your canvas, and you are brush! The walls that once limited you, now are your marble, and you have become a chisel! And never forget, that there is art in the absence of art, sometimes the most beautiful things, are the ones that the eyes can't see... So get against a wall and hide your artful form from the unaware eyes!

I use my art powers to turn the note into completely red sheet of paper. Not before reading it of course.

I think I may have fixed the problem you were having with this thing. It seems like you had installed the chroma filters wrong way around. I'm pretty sure it should detonate properly now.

OBTAINED RED SHEET OF PAPER

>Hug Artistic-Liberty.
Given the difficulties with hugging an abstract concept, I instead hug the metal cylinder. It has a warning on it: "WARNING HIGH ART CONTENT!"

Fuck yeah. Inspect it to figure out how to activate that bitch and free the magnificent artwork from its metal confines.
