It was printed on a Komori Impremia IS29s digital press at Spectrum Printing in Tucson, Arizona. It is a new and improved version of that digital inkjet sheet-fed printing method that is not only very fast, but also light-fast, and uses stochastic imaging, which means there are no halftone dots. The finished prints rival or exceed the quality of high-quality offset lithography. The paper is Neenah Classic Crest, an archival sheet, using 80lb text for the text block and 100lb cover stock for the front and back cover. The folding, some of the foil-stamping, smyth-sewn binding, and corner rounding was by BindTech-Roswell in Phoenix, Arizona--Artist's website. ; The book is housed in a hinged metal case with a clear window, a tongue-in-cheek device protecting the book from water coming from melting ice. All of the 'photos' of calving and melting icebergs were produced by using the generative AI app 'DALL-E', from OpenAI. (The exception is the flip book images of ice melting in a glass which were derived from a stop-motion video that was taken on a 114 degree day in Tucson Arizona.) The Robert Frost text, the rather bad fake 'Charles Bukowski' poem, and almost all other text are from queries to ChatGPT 3.5, also an app from OpenAI, the generative AI text resource. I included the prompts as some of the text for the book. ChatGPT 3.5 was used since I started working on the book in December 2022, and ChatGPT 4 was not released until March of 2023--Artist's website. ; Melt is the second in a series of three books on climate change. Although it is primarily about sea-level rise due to climate change, it is also a conversation with two different generative artificial intelligence entities, ChatGPT 3.5 and DALL-E, both from OpenAI: one generates the text, the other the pictures. What results is an unsettling combination of wisdom from an artificial human creation talking into the void as the ice melts and sea-levels rise--Artist's website."},{"label":"Physical Description","value":"Color illustrations. ; Folded insert. ; Metal container. ; 200 pages, 13 cm ; 1 insert ; 6 pages ; 1 container"},{"label":"Format","value":["Artists' books (books)"]},{"label":"Type","value":["Text"]},{"label":"Language","value":"English"},{"label":"Identifier","value":"N7433.4.Z55 M45 2023"},{"label":"Digital Collection","value":["Arts and Special Collections Research Center - Artists' Books Gallery"]},{"label":"Rights","value":"http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"},{"label":"Custodian","value":["Baylor University - Arts and Special Collections Research Center"]}],"description":"Melt","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/3d22b45d-0754-40de-8077-3f891ab6b31c/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"fa-bookarts-bkk_n7433-4-z55m45-2023_001","height":1861,"width":2252,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/59e2575b-328e-4883-8f0c-b48057e406ad/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/59e2575b-328e-4883-8f0c-b48057e406ad","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"},"height":1861,"width":2252},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/3d22b45d-0754-40de-8077-3f891ab6b31c/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/59e2575b-328e-4883-8f0c-b48057e406ad/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/3d22b45d-0754-40de-8077-3f891ab6b31c/canvas/_2","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"fa-bookarts-bkk_n7433-4-z55m45-2023_002","height":1966,"width":2252,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/d579c9ff-d1ba-4dcb-acb1-64d16d607c90/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/d579c9ff-d1ba-4dcb-acb1-64d16d607c90","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"},"height":1966,"width":2252},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/3d22b45d-0754-40de-8077-3f891ab6b31c/canvas/_2","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/d579c9ff-d1ba-4dcb-acb1-64d16d607c90/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/3d22b45d-0754-40de-8077-3f891ab6b31c/canvas/_3","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"fa-bookarts-bkk_n7433-4-z55m45-2023_003","height":1936,"width":1356,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/30515993-1121-484c-88e7-18dd80128e5b/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/30515993-1121-484c-88e7-18dd80128e5b","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"},"height":1936,"width":1356},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/3d22b45d-0754-40de-8077-3f891ab6b31c/canvas/_3","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/30515993-1121-484c-88e7-18dd80128e5b/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/59e2575b-328e-4883-8f0c-b48057e406ad/full/300,300/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/digitalcollections-baylor/iiif/logo"}
