CORPUS is a 3D-printed work that takes the form of a single-edition book, conceptualised, designed, and printed by graphic designer Darius Ou. This eponymous publication is a publication of that original work — a photocopied, bootleg-like reproduction that is also designed on its own terms. As a word that means both a dead body and also a body of text, CORPUS is a response to the overmentioned “print is dead” catchphrase and questions what this means for non-traditional printing practices like 3D printing. Does “print” here refer to the method or material? Would a 3D-printed book be considered dead even before it has a chance to live?
