Author/artist: Michel Depière
Method:
- Source file was from project Gutenberg.
- Extracted to a notepad file.
- Loaded into Microsoft Excel
- Counted through formulas per chapter.
- Using Gimp and Photoshop to put it back together.
- Listed on 24booktoprint here.
Concept:
- Every letter is it’s own concept and devoid of meaning.
- Once we put this back together it loses the codec and language.
- So apart from just the raw count of the letters in a pile, it doesn’t get any more basic than this.
- This is the genesis of the new work and the basis for everything that follows.
