The Digital Path to Analog Love

an investigation for the The Information is Not Knowledge Project, Curated by Amanda Thackray and James Prez, where “each artist was given one volume, from a complete set of Encyclopedia Britanicas, and asked to do whatever they pleased with it.”

I asked in turn artists and friends to help gestate the project following shifting rules, which can be summed up as of this moment as:

1. Choose a section of the encyclopedia (e.g. a page, an article, all the illustration of fish in this volume, etc);
2. Chew on it (literally) for a while, and then spit it out, or swallow, but in either case hold on to the remains and document the action.
3. Let’s talk about it aterwards (preferably via chat).
4. Make the remains dissappear. document this. tell me about it.
