By re-typing the com­plete book –with the use of 35mm black leader instead of paper on a type­writer– this project attempts, among other things, to con­vert Kerouac’s roman­tic rhyth­mic writ­ing method onto a cold and mechan­i­cal tran­scrip­tion in order to give the work new pos­si­bil­i­ties and read­ings that, when pro­jected at 24 frames a sec­ond, although they do empha­size Kerouac’s inten­tions of imme­di­acy, they trans­form the text into illeg­i­ble blotches of let­ters that…
