Nobody knows what a book is anymore

What is a paper book? How can we design books for our present data culture? The students chose one book each from the archive of Guttorm Guttormgaard at Blaker. This book became the subject of investigations regarding the meeting of book culture and digital media. The students received an introduction to algorithmic approaches to information, and finally the results where exhibitied side by side the original books in Guttormgaard's archive.

  • This course was held in the autumn of 2015, led by the Scandinavian Institute for Computational Vandalism. Students from MA1 and MA2 participated.
