This analog companion to the website antworten preserves and disseminates the supposedly original work in the face of digital deterioration. Printed onto quarto pages and folded into the book’s spine are a series of programming notes and arrangements. The visual and tactile effect successfully recalls that of a musical score. A symphonic transcription.
“In the traditional and durable form of printing, the website’s program is now published and annotated. Each image, each code from www.antworten.de is presented in digital form, as a notation of the programming sequences. Furthermore, each separate part is described so that a future programmer could reproduce the work with an identical surface. The short melody is written in notes; the colouration of the countdown digits is captured pixel for pixel.” – from the publisher.
