First edition. (1/1,000). Folio (8-3/8 x 6-1/4), unpaginated; patterned plastic covers with title, author and introduction credit printed in black and riveted to stiff wrappers with photograph of plastic hoses from the Airplayers series. Minute chip to foot of spine. Fine. Printed and illustrated leaves of images, multi-textured vinyl sleeves and an illustrated vinyl light-up (with red LED) centerfold evolved out of Armstrong's 1982 kinetic sound sculptures. In AIRPLAYERS, as in her other work, Armstrong seeks to create parallel visions of the outer world and the human interior: here the heart of the book becomes an X-ray like double-page photograph of the rib cage with a red human heart beating beneath. McCormick entitles her introduction "Interface, Hyperspace, Social Grace: Armstrong's Techno-Morphology of Perception". Also printed are "Note on AIRPLAYERS" by Robert S. Ross and "Technical Date on AIRPLAYER X" by Nick Didkovsky. The artist adds a note on the images. Also provided are a chronology of AIRPLAYERS and biographies of the contributors. Sara Garden Armstrong has had a number of solo exhibitions and her work is in the Museum of Modern Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale, etc. and in the collections of General Electric, The Gannet Company and Time.
