Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

As part of the exhibition ‘Speculations: Making Thinking Drawing’ John Bowers and I presented this performance / installation. 2 dotmatrix printers are connected by a Mobius strip of paper on which is printed the text of the Canterbury tales. The text is sampled by computer vision and audio techniques and reprinted performing a history of print, through palimpsest.
