year:
2000 / 2003 size: A4 square / half finger thick covers: silver corrugated cardboard + plexiglass box paper: recycled almost creamy print: deskjet printer language: Polish. English, Esperanto, French open edition: 12 copies made so far In
2000 I was at the Book Fair in Frankfurt. I took part in the
SCRIPTORIUM project which showed some surprising analogies between
the epoch of hand written and illuminated books not printed at all
and the epoch of computer written and printed books (and somehow
computer illuminated). I was to chronicle the Fair – to
chronicle
rather feelings, impressions and thoughts than events. And I did. The
chronicle was to be printed gradually. And it was printed. It was to
appear in the Internet. And it appeared. However not all parts
appeared and were printed – we had not enough time and too
many
problems. What was printed and what appeared in the Internet was full
of mistakes.
Three
years later I found in my computer the „Frankfurt”
files and the
printed version on the shelf. I corrected what we had not corrected
then. I added what we had not added then. Maybe now it looks like it
should look. Maybe. However with no doubt this book has its beginning
in the middle.
