Description

A visit with German publisher Jochen Gerz, whose Agentzia Editions were designed to explore the medium of the book in new ways. Gerz, who was residing in Paris when this interview took place in June of 1972, talks with Charles Amirkhanian about his idea that books are too slow for most modern minds. Therefore his Agentzia books were designed to be read in about 5-10 minutes. How is this possible? Listen and learn. (from KPFA Folio)
