星の王子様のテクストの中から点の記号や文字の点だけを取り出すと、秩序ある文字の並びの中に、ある不規則な点が浮かぶ。昼間は外光により文字が認識できるが、夜になると白い点のみが残される。そして文字の一部分であった点は意味を失い、星空のように眼前に現れる。

Dots constituting punctuation marks and letters in the text of "Le Petit Prince" are extracted, so a random constellation is formed out of the orderly word strings. In the daytime, the letters are readable in natural light, whereas at night, only the white dots remain visible. Having lost the meanings attached to them, the dots, which were components of the letters, then resemble a starry sky.
