From physical to digital: What do artists do with books?

Bodman, Sarah L.

Abstract

Sarah Bodman was invited to give the lecture 'From Physical to Digital - What Do Artists Do with Books?' at the University of Minnesota. Artists’ books have been around for centuries, but as digital technology has advanced so quickly recently, so have the ways in which artists produce works of art in, or based upon the book format. So what are artists doing with books these days? This presentation will look at some of the ways artists in the USA, Europe and further afield are approaching the book format now. Examples of artists’ books will be discussed, from beautiful paper-based editions to more experimental video and online book works, and what the messages behind these books are.
