About this title

Synopsis

"This text here might be rendered on a screen. It could appear on paper as well. I have　written it on a computer. As you are reading it, something　is functioning as an　interface. Although I do not know exactly what this　thing　is, I know for certain that there is　something　here, slipping your mind as you read this text." This knowledge and slipping　away questions the sustaining　support of digital objects:　It aimed to challenge the habitualisation towards digital devices, the forgetting of the physical　interface that leads to the supposition of digital immateriality, by making the computer　apparent as an absurd thing that escapes language. The author positions himself among these strange and aloof digital things　and their effects.　

• Inspiring research approach to the analog - digital interface
• Individual intervention in each copy: A page crumpled by the artist author is included in each book.
• Award-winning artist author
