The art of broken Kindle screens

The book is called “56 Broken Kindle Screens” and is the brainchild of digitial artist Sebastian Schmieg in collaboration with Silvio Lorusso. It is a  compilation of found images depicting broken Kindle screens.

“56 Broken Kindle Screens” “takes as its starting point the peculiar aesthetic of broken E Ink displays and serves as an examination into the reading device’s materiality. As the screens break, they become collages composed of different pages, cover illustrations and interface elements.”
Of course, the book is available as a print on demand title only and is selling for under $5.
