about the cover: To create an image of a wave of data, german artist Thomas herbrich photographed over 1,000 printed pages then reduced them to 6cm through multiple photocopying. he then began the arduous task of adhering thousands of these miniature pages onto corrugated styrofoam sheets to create and photograph this 3d scene. The effect of flying papers at the top of the wave was created by throwing hundreds of mini-pages out of a bucket and photographing them. he then blended the separate images together to form the wave. for more about his work, see http://www.herbrich.com/.
