Going Digital-Goodby Herr Gutenberg

ecently I’ve found myself involved with quite a few digital art books, as a provider of ideas as well as a provider of text. I’m not skilful enough to put them together myself. However I know roughly speaking how they work and I’m fortunate enough to have good collaborators. My efforts to date have been comparatively modest but are rapidly becoming more ambitious. The project I have in hand at the moment is a lot more ambitious than the kind of digital book you meet on a Kindle. A collaboration with my friend Zavier Ellis, of the gallery Charlie Smith London, is an iBook for iPad (but soon for Apple laptops as well) - the first volume of a compendium called 100 London Artists, designed to celebrate London as an art city.
