About the book you see in the picture:
Produced for Friday Late, Blood on Paper at the Victoria and Albert Museum
Friday 25 April 2008Celebrating the Blood on Paper exhibition, a selection of artists and designers were commissioned to customise a book. I was given The New Machiavelli by H.G.Wells.
Faced with a book that was over 60 years old I thought it would be wrong to deface it. I decided to conserve it by photographing every page, converting it to a PDF document and saving it to a USB stick.
The digital book as an art form.
