Post- Digital Print - Monoskop

Actually, paper and pixel seem to have become complementary to
each other; print is increasingly the medium of choice for preserving
the ‘quintessence’ of the Web. The editor of printed material is the curator,
the human filter, the one who decides what should be saved on a
stable medium, and what should be left as a message in a bottle tossed
into the sea of the Internet. So the printed page, with its sense of unhurried
conclusiveness, allows to the reader to pause, to reflect, to take
notes, without having to rely on electricity. And paper is also being
used to preserve a substantial part of the digital culture, independently
of hardware or software, describing the new media from the technical
perspective of an old medium.
