Xavier Antin’s installation piece “Just in Time” uses four devices spanning 100 years of desktop printing to generate a rather lovely book; each printer’s output is the input for the next one down the line.
A book printed through a printing chain made of four desktop printers using four different colors and technologies dated from 1880 to 1976. A production process that brings together small scale and large scale production, two sides of the same history.
* MAGENTA (Stencil duplicator, 1880)
* CYAN (Spirit duplicator, 1923)
* BLACK (Laser printer, 1969)
* YELLOW (Inkjet printer, 1976)
