Book “Unlicensed. Let’s Consider the Bootleg as…”
A book that looks like the content it talks about, ‘UNLICENSED’ is Microsoft Word made chic, where functionality becomes a post-digital readymade. The designer uses the bootleg form as a vernacular, putting this item between a thrown together homemade copy and a carefully considered book.
The plastic cover is nearly identical to casings of ripped CD’s from back in the day. Combined with the meticulous binding, the gap is nicely bridged between an irreproducible item and a book of characterless redistribution which you could print at your favourite copy shop.
