About this book
This text might be rendered on a screen. It could appear on paper as well. I have written it using a computer. As you are reading this text, some thing is functioning as an interface. Although I do not know exactly what this thing is, I know for certain that there is some thing here, slipping your mind as you read this text. This knowledge and this slipping away is the subject of this book. This research project questioned 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 handling computers as absurd things that escape language, the author sought to position himself among these strange and aloof digital entities 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
