Hi guys, I´m doing some reserch on alternative printed formats. Like stories written on particular objects (origami for example) or alternately designed books.

Has anyone came across somethin like this? I´d really like to read about it.

Nox by Anne Carson may apply. Sort of. It's still on paper, but isn't traditionally bound.

What about all the Sanskrit and other writings from way back that were carved into stone?

Frankenfont. It's Mary Shelley's novel printed in fragments of forgotten, unfinished, and obscure fonts.

Just saw a video about Nox. The format is certainly interesting. I´m looking for something smaller tho. And about the stone-writings, I was planning on actually creating the object, so rocks may be troublesome.

What do you want to do OP?

>> No.2189442

I want to work with these formats, produce them. Keeping that in mind, I need something rather small, a printed construction that will house nothing but a small story. Yet it must be powerful, desirable, sensual if possible.

I know it hard hehe, but I´ve heard of such formats before, I just can´t seem to find them.

Write a short story on a decorative bowl full of plastic fruit. Start with the apple, then the pear, etc.

Btw, I like the fruit idea, but I´m looking for something that could be mass produced.

Depends on what you understand by "mass", but yes, I´ve got a small printing house.

btw, I´d rather work with something relatively cheap to produce, since I don´t intent to sell the -objects-.
