constant worksession

with Martin Lemaire


During the worksession, we used a thermal (ticket) printer a lot.

The standard format, alongside with its strong limitation was an interesting tool to play with: what happens if we print whole website on it?

A website is a media that scroll, like a codex. Contrary to a book, where the content is divided in pages.

The thermal printer lies at the intersection, it prints on paper, but there is no page, it preverses the scrolling structure of a website.

This scrollbar is a cool way to trigger discussions at the intersection of codex and pages, digital and paper.
