Items related to Link: A Critical Journal on the Arts, Issue Eight:...
The Baltimore-based arts magazine Link published ten book-length journals to great critical acclaim between 1996 and 2006. Issue Eight: Codex, examines the book as an object in the digital era. How does a portable, page-numbered, random-access paperback influence the way we think, the way we write, and the way we perceive ourselves? The editors of Link look at the seductiveness of the book, its place as the seat of the critical impulse, and its effect on authorship, narrative, and the arts. Featured are essays by Johanna Drucker, who argues that instructions for use of the book are encoded in its genetic material; by John Barry, who steps back to look at the books that stand--unread--on his shelf; and by Rachel Schreiber, who interviews Ellen Lupton, the curator of contemporary design at Cooper-Hewitt, the National Design Museum, on the state of the book in the wired age. Also: Bibliomancy, artist books, impossible books, edible books, hirstute books, altered books, and an archival cockroach who totes text in his interstitial DNA. Includes Maryland Art Place's 2003-2004 Critics' Residency.
