At first glance, this book looks like an art book of the sea—but each image is actually a geological photograph of Yilan’s sedimentary rocks. Printed in blue and black Risograph layers, these works transform the rocks’ textures into seascape-like visuals. The natural misalignment of Risograph printing creates wave-like drifts and depth, a process we define as “drift-print”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title technique, \u003cem\u003edrift-print\u003c\/em\u003e, is an experimental method that intentionally manipulates what is typically considered a printing error: misregistration. By doing so, it reconstructs the natural \u003cem\u003efluctuations\u003c\/em\u003e inherent in organic subjects as visual expression. This approach expands the potential of risograph printing by using misregistration and moiré effects to create visual depth, motion, and variation—each print becoming a unique visual landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets \u003cem\u003edrift-print\u003c\/em\u003e apart is its reinterpretation of printing flaws. Misalignments and noise are not treated as defects but are reframed as expressive elements—manifestations of natural rhythm and irregularity. Through this lens, the rocky textures of the landscape begin to resemble waves or ocean currents. The process does not merely reproduce imagery, but actively develops new visual landscapes through printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book includes not only the visual works produced through this method but also documentation of the project’s conceptual framework and experimental process. It functions both as a research archive and a stimulating resource for creators and scholars interested in print-based expression and visual experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced with support from SurfySpace, an artist-in-residence program in Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes exclusive risograph test prints and a research document (A6 size, 32 pages) as a supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:a6ebb8f4-90d7-4e8b-9653-5ab7afbaff87-58\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-118\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] thread-sm:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] thread-lg:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] thread-lg:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"104f175e-8164-47aa-a7a7-7c0be3881979\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-mini\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePublished by Koseko Bunko (小瀬古文庫)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e40 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e210 x 297 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koseko Bunko (小瀬古文庫)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56980969455947,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/1_driftprint_cover.webp?v=1778068739","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/ga\/products\/drift-print-research-archive-tomoyuki-koseko","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
