Title

OP003 : Digitization Kills the Image

Author

Description

The edition questions the relationship between technology and reproductive materials. It exhumes and diverts this distant childhood memory, this warning “Danger: le photocopillage tue le livre” (“Danger: photocopying kills the book”) that we thought limited to classrooms and documentation centers. By 40 scans and the partial destruction of an image, the publication imposes a reflection on development of publishing methods, from printed book to the screen.

Statement

I photocopied a traditional photography with a RICOH photocopier. I've picked some basic setups on the machine such as "copy in color","from a colored photography" then I've pressed on the button "copy" and this, several times in a row... I've been really surprised of the results while the papers were coming out. There is no image editing from me, it's the RICOH photocopier who made everything.
