Ecriture infinie

The artsist Bili Bidjocka invites people around the world to handwrite something in large notebooks as if it were their last opportunity to handwrite something.

While we’ve immersed more and more in the digital age, these kind of projects are very valuable.

Ecriture Infinie / Infinite Writing is the celebration of a 3500 year old invention:handwriting. For generations, men and women have put pen to paper to spread revolutionary ideas, request payments, run inner monologues, declare their love, make up stories, send death threats. What now? Is handwriting still necessary? While becoming less and less of a routine task, it seems that handwriting is morphing into a source of leisure, reaffirming its magical, artistic and sacred origins. What we know for sure is that we live on the verge of momentous change in the way people record their own thoughts. And that the feeling of holding a pen firmly in your hand, smell the paper, smudge your fingers with ink or graphite, turn a page, still is – for many of us – a beautiful feeling.
