Abstract

Recently all kinds of information devices like iPad or electronic books have spread rapidly and there is a great fear for the existence of paper books. Artist's books which allow people to plan, design, edit and also publish them themselves have spread. With this in mind, I researched many art works at the Fleet Library of the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, U.S.A. and analyzed the definition of artist's books and the reasons why people focus on them. There are eternal possibilities as 'books' to leave records, make history and convey information. However 'art works' convey it the concept or message of the artists and 'the media' to give people a spatial experiences. Furthermore I figured out the relation between electronic books and artist's books by research and analysis of present society.
