The Eternal Networker
Experimentation of collective writing through the networking of strangers by a protocol and lent smartphones.
Testing the expression "Books make friends", the protocol brings into play the notions of relay and epidemiology : take the phone, leave something that only you can put there, pass the phone on to someone else.
Speculation on the future form of the artist's book, it is no longer only a material object but also a network that would be available or consultation via a cloud.
Subject of an article in the newspaper La Dépense presenting an interview with Xavier Antin and Ilan Manouach.
Variable dimensions, spare smartphones.
La Dépense, curated by Xavier Antin, 2022, 48 pages, 33.2 x 44.5 cm, digital offset printing and spray paint, french language, 500 copies.
Free of charge (out of print)
