The 404 Book

The 404 Book focuses on the concept of error. Its objective is to enlighten the reader into my perception of errors in general. I chose the number 404 (from the famous “Error 404 — Page Not Found”) as a comprehensive tool to create this book. For example: the book comprises exactly 404 pages, and the sum of the width (in millimetres) and height equals 404mm. This project started out as a school assignment, but quickly turned into something more, where I spent an entire year thinking only about one number, and experimenting, researching and designing a plethora of things related to that number and the error concept.
