Between Page and Screen

"Brad Bouse is a developer interested in the creative applications of code. Amaranth Borsuk is a poet, scholar, and book artist interested in textual materiality across media." 

"Between Page and Screen is a book of poetry that explores the place of books as objects in an era of increasingly screen-based reading. Its pages contain no text, only black-and-white geometric shapes and directions to visit betweenpageandscreen.com. At the site, the reader confronts her mirror image, thanks to a webcam, and when the book is opened the text springs to life, appearing to leap off the page. These poems, a series of letters between P and S, two lovers struggling to define their relationship, draw on the etymologies of “page” and “screen” to explore their intersections and divergences. The words do not exist on either platform, but in the augmented space between them opened up by the reader." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
