Post-Book or My Name is Asaph, I Make Repairs is diegetic material from the point of view of a Post-Human in a humanless future. I crafted the physical book to be the diary of a Post-Human android, inspired by Katherine Hayles'
How We Became Post-Human, Robert Cargill's
Sea of Rust and William Gibson and Dennis Ashbaugh's
AGRIPPA. The first-person narrator, Asaph, rejects uploading their memories into the data entity 'STATION' and instead records their memories in this book. Asaph owns a repair workshop, and each chapter introduces a new type of robot that needs fixing. I explore themes of robots utilising human parts like skin farms where robots can choose to fit skins onto their metal frames. The evolution and expansion of literature is an integral part of my art practice, through this writing I speculate how robots would treat material text in a digital information age. I further my research of future reading attitudes in my dissertation
