The Bible
The Bible of David Guez is a digital print that presents the full text of the old and New Testament in an A1 format.
You will be able to display this monument at home.
You will thus become the keeper of our collective memory. Thanks to a paper hard disk, it is now possible to back up essential data for a long time. The traditional magnetic media (hard drives, key, CD-ROM) have a limited lifespan. It therefore became crucial to come up with a process, which indeed would exist "out-of-technology", to face time. A digital file is transformed into a paper one via a powerful zoomatic function. Thus, on an A0 sheet of paper, it stores hundreds of megabytes using a 0,1 pt size font.
