Episode 18, Penelope.
A reinterpretation of Chapter 18 from Ulysses a novel by James Joyce. Ulysses is considered both a literary masterpiece and one of the hardest pieces of English literature to read. A 4,391-word single sentence can be found in the final chapter, a monologue written to communicate the stream of consciousness of Molly Bloom. A modified dot matrix printer was deployed to allow for the stream of consciousness of Molly Bloom to be perpetually printed over several hours, resulting in a single 17meter print. Natural distortion occurs as a result of the modified technology. A project that pays homage to James Joyce's experimental use of the English language. Manifested in both installation and publication formats.
Publication that captures the result of installation. A 17 meter dot matrix, tractor feed print folded into a letter pressed case.
Natural distortion occurred due to the modified and decontextualised printing technology
Installation format: Dot matrix printer in action printing Episode 18, Penelope.
