Inframince/ “infrathin”

Inframince (infrathin):

“Aesthetic concept developed by Marcel Duchamp for whom it generally characterised a thickness (“épaisseur”), a separation, a difference, an interval between two things, in general little perceptible. The inframince qualifies a distance or a difference that you cannot perceive, but that you can only imagine. The best example of it, is the “inframince separation between the bang of a gun (very near) and the mark of appearance of the mark of the bullet on the target”.

(Will think of this as an effort to portray an instance of inframince — capturing the point, while typing, between a cursor blinking and a letter appearing. This one too: of one’s foot landing at the midpoint between two of a car alarms’ reports.)
