from Beneath a steel sky
We have ebooks and book social networks. We have book trailers and internet book tv but the folks at DQ Books (nothing to do with Dairy Queen) have come up with what just might be the perfect marriage of technology and the book form.
DQ Books brings together artists, illustrators and photographers and places their visuals within the context of the book form using Flash technology. Each thematic issue is accompanied by a soundscape created by French composer Avril.
The first 4 issues are:
Invasion – 7 days of graphic improvisition by Festo and Telemolindo
Seasons – 16 illustrators, artists and photographers invent a life of a woman according to seasons
Where’s the Party – Brazilian, Italian and French artists for a narcotic party, carried out with a blue Bic pen
Beneath a steel sky – From Brooklyn to Central Park beneath a steel sky, analog photography by Festo
These are the wordless novels of the 21st Century.
