It hasn't ever come across my mind what a computer printer had done for us--the human race. I should to some extend realize the realities of a printer because I myself work in art that uses a printing press, but to take the actual job of a digital printer means a lot!
The Human Printer is project in which artists try to recreate images that a CMYK printer does. This means lot and LOTS of dots.
I try to image this process and the time consuming nature of it, and think just how complex and giving our contemporary printers are. Unlike artists who may critique how we live with our technology and try to discover perhaps the darker side of technology, these artists are very much interested in celebrating printers and our aesthetic that we've built around it.
