Everything in the World, Laura Bergman, 1997

Bergman engages with the disappearance of the physical world through its coded description as binary information. The material world (represented by the pastel image on the outside of the paper roll) is gradually unraveled by the feed mechanism of a printer. Mounted above the roll the printer

essentially uploads

the image in slithers of colour before 'downloading' the unravelled layers into a

heaped mountain

of coded information.
