Recently opened at David Platzker’s excellent Specific Object gallery is a show of Robert Barry’s project, One Billion Colored Dots. The twenty-five volume set will be on view there until April 24th. As Frédéric Paul writes [PDF], “It assumes an appearance thereof because a book is involved, but this book does not contain any information, except on the title page and at the end of each book on the page containing the colophon. And no imagery is disguised in these expanses of dots, even if all you would have to do is link up some of them, in a certain order, to bring out thousands of images! So regarded as a set of books, One Billion Colored Dots is empty. And regarded as a reservoir, it is full.”
