workshop held by Vinca Kruk, Metahaven
The brief for this project was to recreate a physical book, Das Kapital - Das Kapital, Kritik der politischen Ökonomie by Karl Marx - using the ambiguous legal space we find ourselves in: the cloud. The Cloud is Google, Amazon, The Pirate Bay and WikiLeaks all at once.
The volume is the rendering of a physical and traditional paper version of the online, not cohesive and multilingual versions of Das Kapital. The result is a book in which the computer screen deals with each double-page spread in the form of printed image. The choice of finding heterogeneous material from all the considered cloud-based sources leads to the impossibility to recall the work to a specific printed edition, reflecting the ambiguous nature of the web.
