* Lire un site web? Being Human . een bloemlezing . an anthology, le livre est un dérivé du site web Being Human. Ce site web, créé entre 1997 et 2007, est un univers linguistique, où se mêlent différentes voix, langues, poèmes, codes et variables dans un ensemble labyrinthique. Aujourd’hui l’Internet a changé et le site ne peut plus être vécu de la même manière que quand il a été créé. Quand LI-MA Amsterdam demande à Abrahams comment elle voudrait le présenter en 2023 dans l’exposition REBOOT: Pioneering Digital Art, au Nieuwe Instituut à Rotterdam, elle décide de le capturer dans un recueil de poésie. Le livre est multilingue, contient 44 poèmes, un Fore Words / Voor Woorden d’Erika Fülöp et Ad Verbs / Bij Woorden de Abrahams elle-même. La conception graphique est d’Alexandre Leray. ISBN : 978909037631, 160 pages, A5, couverture rigide.

Can the essence of a website called Being Human created between 1997 and 2007, be translated into a book in 2023?
I am very happy and proud to announce the release of my book Being Human . een bloemlezing . an anthology The book is part of the exhibition REBOOT: Pioneering Digital Art at the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam.
The book is multi-lingual and contains 44 poems, a Fore Words / Voor Woorden by Erika Fülöp, an Ad Verbs / Bij Woorden by me. The graphic design is by Alexandre Leray.
A book as a derivative of something that is gone, which at least, now can no longer be experienced as in the time when it was made. … Being Human has always been a linguistic universe, in which different voices, languages, poems, codes and variables mingle into a labyrinthine whole. And so it appeared a challenge and logical to me to try to capture Being Human into a book, into a collection of poetry.
“A fantastic and fascinating semiotic mess. It is text. Type undefined. We bounce back and forth between languages that we understand and others we don’t, between ourselves and others, between humans and the space between them, caught in the interface that connects and separates them and us.” Erika Fülöp.
The book is for sale at NAI Booksellers, Museumpark 25, Rotterdam and with UNDERBELLY. You can also order one with me. (24 euro) ISBN: 9789090376318, 160 pages, A5, hardcover, print edition 150 copies.
