This book takes advantage of the scanner in reproducing, at a slightly larger scale, an object in multiple views, in this case the dictionary. I am in love with the dictionary. I also love scanning things. This accordion folded book explores the dictionary in all its object-ness in the form of high resolution scans of all the different sides of the thing and stringing them together in a different way than they usually appear. This book brings together the traditional resource of the dictionary (a thing that is looked to to define words and ideas) with the technology of the scanner (a tool that is used to define objects in another way). It brings the two together in a way that is disorienting, taking apart different parts of the dictionary and putting them together again in a way that you wouldn't expect and that doesn't quite make sense. Somehow when confronted with this reproduction of the dictionary, it looks all the more obsolete.
