Description

The idea for this animation of found gif animations of books came up when thinking about the relationship between the printed book and its digital brother while writing a contribution to the Writing Marathon 2010 co-ordinated by Andrea Lioy:

"[…] When surfing the Web, one cannot help but notice that the Internet itself resembles the form of the book in many ways or even tries to emulate the experience of reading a book. How come that electronic book readers, such as the Amazon Kindle or the iPad, imitate the very sensual act of turning the pages of a printed book?" Turning Digital Pages
