Xavier Antin
London based Frenchman Xavier Antin’s Just in Time, or a Short History of Production is an installation that was used to produce a book with a print chain made of four desktop printers from different eras. Each of the four printers is set to print one of the four process colours, bringing small and large scale production together. The stencil duplicator from 1880 prints Magenta, the spirit duplicator from 1923 prints Cyan, the laser printer from 1969 prints Key, and the inkjet from 1976 prints Yellow. The images in the resulting book are stunning.
