Books As Art. Not Writing As Art. Books As Art!

Robot Nine loves books.Reading them, collecting them, the weight of the book in your hands, the smell of the pages.As the world moves along we perhaps will become an anachronism. Books may one day cease to exist as we know them. It is sad for us but things like the cool Kindle from Amazon exist and will only get better. Ah well, some artists we have found are using books to create very interesting pieces that we thought we would share with you, since Robot Nine loves art as much as we love books.

The above three are all books carved and cut into amazingly sophisticated and beautiful pieces.

The three wonderful creations above were made for the Anagram Bookshop in Prague, Checkoslovakia. Precious little information is on the website but it is linked in the sources at the end of the post anyway. Robot Nine would love to own the giant octopus attacking the ship. Imagine that on the desk as a conversation piece.








Books as giant indoor sculptures that can actually be walked thorough. Let's hope the artist used some amazing glue to do this!
