Beau projet!
Beautiful project!

The Infinite Library is a project by Daniel Gustav Cramer and Haris Epaminonda

'The book objects (...) are each made from pages of existing books removed from their bindings and rebound as one. Some of these series loosely relate to each other via a third element: geometrical shapes abstracted from the images, computer-edited, and overprinted on the originals. The disparate image stocks become intertwined and open on one another. Having transcended any thematic organization, the loose pages now have the potential to amalgamate into an infinite number of new books. In so doing, they yield a library that defies conventional categorization.'

Dan Collier, Topographic link, 2007

Voici un livre magnifiquement intelligent!
Here a book magnificiently intelligent!

''This is a stunningly fresh and appealing approach to physical tagging, folksonomy or maps of relatedness. Typographic Links is a collectable hand-sewn publication, which maps interesting links and connections through the world of typography. The aim was to create a book and accompanying poster that took a light-hearted look at typographic practice. Thread is used to create three-dimensional hyperlinks that guide the reader through the pages of the book.''

Tommy Perman, Mono Culture, artist's book

Travail multidisciplinaire très intéressant!
Very interesting multidisciplinary work!

''I am an artist / designer / musician based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I work in the fields of visual art, graphic design, performance, installation, sound and music. I try to view all my creative output on the same level and a great deal of my work concerns the boundaries between the fine arts, design and music. My work often combines traditional methods with new digital technologies and I divide my time between solo and collaborative projects.

I am a member of the artist collective / band FOUND and run a small independent record label called Surface Pressure Records.''

Olafur Eliasson, Your house

Quel livre magnifique!
What a splendid book!

"It’s made of 454 slices, bound together in a book. Apparently it was quite a difficult process to put together, due to the complex constraints that were put upon the paper. From what I understand it was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in NYC."
