Fuck Yeah, Book Arts!

visual-poetry:

»the art of typewriting« by ruth & marvin sackner, steven heller

this book mines the collection of the sackner archive of visual and concrete poetry, the largest such collection in the world.

each cover displays a unique combination of two artworks. this was achieved through the creation of a custom algorithm that processes the data that is fed to the hp indigo 10000 digital press.

internally, the book is divided into three main sections: an introduction to the history of the typewriter and its art; an expansive plate section showing key works and a dense reference section featuring biographies of the genre’s most influential artists and writers.

i’m very glad, that one of my typewriter poems is featured in this beautiful book!
