The picture: an organiser's year
Given: The region and the year 2027Solved for: The events on each weekend, and the weekends still open
52 weekends, 9 open.
What an organiser receives before applying for the permit of an open-air event of 15,000 people over 2 days, somewhere in the region in 2027: the year as weekends, each with what already sits on it, the capacity signal, the locations with days left, the infrastructure and what competes for the region's beds and crews, then the weekends still open, ranked by their odds.
This sample is the picture reading: the region and the year read again every month. It names events by kind, never by organiser. It is sold to organisers, as the subscriber's monthly reading.
The permits return here as what sits on each weekend; the shoot reads one licence as the taker of the region's mats.
