Xerographers of the Mind

The Lost Idea of the Photocopy

Tuesday February 27, 2007 | 5:30 PM

Part of a larger in-progress project on textual interface, “Xerographers of the Mind” seeks to recover the idea of the photocopy, an idea so lately corrupted by our intuitive knowledge of things digital. To do so, it addresses famous photocopies of the 1960s and 1970s — especially the Pentagon Papers — illustrating ways in which documentary reproduction is a construct both dynamic and diverse. Your reflections and suggestions will be welcomed.
