VOLUME / A5
Art project by Luigi Amato and Roberto Arista is a publication that focuses on the design features of a book as tech as opposed to the content the medium conventionally delivers:
VOLUME is the first of a series of experimental publications involving the book form as the specific meaning of its realization. Deliberately inspired by The new art of making books by the artist and collector Ulises Carrión, this publication inquiries the book as an autonomous and self-sufficient medium, a volume in the space in which the physical aspects (dimensions, weight, page numbers, sequentiality an so on) and the modes of fruition become the content of the book itself. Through a script, it has been possible to measure the single page properties and the relation between multiple pages along the space-time sequence of the book. The data made visible by VOLUME show the continuous physical and perceptive variations acting in/on the book during the reading process.
