EMMA SHARPE HARD COPIES

Hard Copies is an ongoing project that feeds the compulsion to materialize digital files.

Generally redundant in use (dense text, retina-burning colours, one-off copies), these printed essays are made to satiate the creator, not the reader. Running as a parallel project to core research, Hard Copies is an attempt to create material tributes to intellectual labour – saving hidden files from being lost in the digital ether.

For an inefficient digital representation of the essays, please see entries in the “Work” section of this site.
