“Not long ago we were spectators, passive consumers of mass media. Now, on YouTube and blogs and Facebook and Twitter, we are media. And while we watch more television than ever before, how we watch it is changing in ways we have barely slowed down to register. No longer content in our traditional role as couch potatoes, we approach television shows, movies, even advertising as invitations to participate—as experiences to immerse ourselves in at will. Wired contributing editor Frank Rose talks to the people who are reshaping media for a two-way world—people like Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse (Lost), James Cameron (Avatar), Will Wright (The Sims), and dozens of others whose ideas are changing how we play, how we communicate, how we think. “
Like I said in a comment on the blog, Swissmiss, where I first found the image:
I appreciate the idea from, Littlefly, but maybe it’s because I love my books so much…this makes me a little sad. A hole in your someone’s story :(
What would be interesting, however, would be the artist taking books damaged beyond repair or legibility and making THOSE into jewelry. To me, that would be much more valuable. The story gets a continues with its “second-life” of sorts…
