Encyclophilia 4 by Matthew C. Lange

Encyclophilia 4 is an editioned set of “mono-books” that transposes a social theory referred to as The Plummet Machine over important events in American history. Each set in the edition consists of seven 3.5” x 5”, 16 page booklets that have been overprinted on two page spreads extracted from 1960’s era illustrated history books. Matthew will give a presentation tonight at Printed Matter, 6PM: A live demonstration of techniques for deconstructing and reconfiguring systems of knowledge and power, incorporating examples of the various media devices through which we historically consume information - slide projectors, flip charts, and encyclopedia sets - to question the rationality of contemporary classification modes.
