.PRINTED RECORD (2001)
Design: Ben Chatfield
A used vinyl record is inked, run through a letterpress and printed to colored paper, which makes legible scrapes, scuffs and scratches accumulated on the vinyl surface.  This process reveals a secondary record of the physical history of this piece of vinyl while simultaneously conceals--makes inaccessible--the original record of musical information embedded on its surface.
