Augmented reality poetry book can only be read via webcam
"An unlikely marriage of print and digital, Between Page and Screen chronicles a love affair between two characters, P and S. The book has no words, only inscrutable black and white geometric patterns that, when coupled with a webcam, conjure the written word. Reflected on screen, the reader sees him or herself with open book in hand, language springing alive and shape-shifting with each turn of the page.
The story unfolds through a playful and cryptic exchange of letters between P and S as they struggle to define their relationship. Rich with innuendo, anagrams, etymological and sonic affinities between words, Between Page and Screen revels in language and the act of reading.
Originally produced in a limited, letterpress edition of 12, Between Page and Screen is now available from Siglio Press. The first 250 copies are signed and numbered. Save 25% with the coupon code "SPINTO"."
