in our everyday lives, we are moving between two worlds: the real and the digital. our book, enters the second of these worlds, the «inter»-net, the world-between. we collected fragmentary data form the internet on the «world» and copied them into our book, trying to get a little insight on how the physical world is reflected in the internet.
24.10.08 is the «un-world day», a methodological experiment in data collection, authorship, cataloging, and editorial design that reflects virtual and actual experiences in a laminal way.
