Ink
Ink – or in Danish, Tilfældigvis er Skærmen blevet Blæk – is an experimental installation displayed at the Roskilde Library and the Roskilde Festival. It was designed to prompt public reflection on the nature and role of digital literature.
By manipulating three books embedded with sensors, and watching text visualized on a 55’’ screen, members of the public select from a range of predefined sentences written by Danish author Peter-Clement Woetmann. Squeezing the books alters each poetic line by degrees. The final poems will be printed onto a library receipt for their producers and uploaded to a blog for public viewing.
