How do people use manual?
Posted: April 4th, 2008 | 1 Comment »Random street encounter tonight in Geneva:
A manual for a flat-screen LCD television, obviously tossed out in a trash. Made me think about the value of manuals from technological devices. It can also be a manual on one the 3 languages (+english) of Switzerland. We have often get 3 of 4 manuals for each technological good that we buy.
Ben Katchor’s recent illustrated music theatre piece, “The Slugbearers of Kayrol Island”
featured a group of urban poets who read the instructions from obsolete products.
