Reducing Redness From Scratches

Casual Friday # 9: Written Images, the book artist who creates his own

Who said as printed technology and did not mix? Surely not the participants (Martin Fuchs Peter Bichsel and others) at very forward-thinking project that I will speak today. Written Images to be more precise.

As you can see on the instructional video below, the book is based on an application with an indescribable algorithm, manages to create unique images. Not less than 70 artists who have offered their works and a selection has not chosen as 42.

Through this program, unique images are generated, and by printing on demand, so the player receives a single copy of his book. It is therefore of the first books planned. I let you get familiar with the concept by viewing this explanation.



is really a very original idea that pushes the boundaries of the book we used to hold hands. Unfortunately, this book is still in pre-production since the project relies on your contribution Financial to develop, through a collaborative platform, kickstarter.
When the project is successful, you're about to have a single copy. Indeed, the program will generate specific images for each book (from the base of the 42 selected works), there will be no for the same. The choice of on-demand printing of books will provide a single copy and therefore different from each other, with minor differences loan.



I do not know if the future of paper books is Here, in any case it is a major innovation!

If you are convinced by the project, in addition to the support, you can also buy books (it may be the goal in the end), but already starting to save. A copy will cost around $ 200. But if you want your name printed on the inside (very trivial, I imagine), it will cost not less than 350 dollars! But prices continue to climb when it comes to choosing a special cover and a few postcards, you pay $ 1500!

There's more hope that the course of the euro has a good side versus the dollar to expect to get correct rates. But one can also see these future books as works of art, and here the price is secondary!
