2013 Diary

I reprinted each day of last years diary and overlayed in onto a single composition. I was interested in the compression of time into a single image. Presented at Saratim Trust as part of Museum Nacht , March 8th 2014 where the printer was placed to print out each page of the diary every minute onto the overhead projector.


Below is the orginal scan gif and python code to print.

import os, sys
import time 

filepath = "/Users/user/Desktop/PZI/practice/trimester2/2013diary/diary2/JPEG2print"
dirlist = os.listdir(filepath)
pages = 0 
for i in dirlist:
    pages = pages + 1 
    print pages 
    print i 
    os.system("lpr -p /Users/user/Desktop/PZI/practice/trimester2/2013diary/diary2/JPEG2print/img0%02d.jpg" % pages)
    time.sleep(30)
