Orgasmic, i say!

Frenchman Xavier Antin's 'Just In Time, or A Short History of Production' is a conceptual and executional beauty.

"A book printed through a printing chain made of four desktop printers using four different colors and technologies dated from 1880 to 1976. A production process that brings together small scale and large scale production, two sides of the same history."

• MAGENTA (Stencil duplicator, 1880)
• CYAN (Spirit duplicator, 1923)
• BLACK (Laser printer, 1969)
• YELLOW (Inkjet printer, 1976)

Wow.

Swedish graphic design & advertising studio Ritator used the iris printing technique '...to replicate the side view from a moving car or train'.

Whut, Whut?!

The studio produced 250 unique prints [ posters ] for The Swedish Museum of Architecture.

Pretty Paper Prints Aplenty

Sunday i headed to Queens for the 2009 NY Art Book Fair @ PS1. There were so many trees put to such great use i just couldnt ask for more. But, i did - because i got there an hour before it ended....meaning i improperly went through 3 floors of publicational pussy:

Next year, i swear, i'll camp out at the entrance the night before its opening.
