Jimmy Luu: The Office Of Printed Ephemera September 18, 2009

Sept. 18–Oct. 9
JIMMY LUU: THE OFFICE OF PRINTED EPHEMERA
Opening Reception: Friday, Sept. 18, 6–8 p.m.

Artist: Jimmy Luu The Office of Printed Ephemera presents a large collection of prints from the Office’s archive of collected digital content, which comes from sources such as Craigslist ads or Twitter posts. Each selected text is then archived in printed form via handset letterpress or hand-pulled silkscreen. The Office’s archive explores the parallels between turn-of-the-century printed ephemera and the current flood of fleeting digital content produced and distributed in real time via the internet. As a meditation on so-called "new" and "old" media, The Office of Printed Ephemera is a starting place for imagining new ways of understanding the rapidly unfolding digital world.
