56 Broken Kindle Screens; Sebastian Schmieg and Silvio Lorusso, 2012

 

56 Broken Kindle Screens, 2012 is a collaboration project  by Sebastian Schmieg and Silvio Lorusso_

"56 Broken Kindle Screens is a print on demand paperback that consists of found photos depicting broken Kindle screens. The Kindle is Amazon's e-reading device which is by default connected to the company's book store. 

The book takes as its starting point the peculiar aesthetic of broken E Ink displays and serves as an examination into the reading device's materiality. As the screens break, they become collages composed of different pages, cover illustrations and interface elements."
