Phaedrus Pron

"Written" by typesetting the original text with computer fonts created by Chan that transform the conventional alphabet into an array of erotic idiolects, Phaedrus Pron unfolds as a relentless exchange of erotic verse between a philosopher and a young man in search of rhyme and reason.

Works of art in themselves, the fonts extend the possibilities of writing by rewriting what is written with a simple change of font in your computer: from Times new roman to...Phaedrus Pron.

The essential and incomplete Sade for Sade’s sake

This artist book, designed by Chan, brings together for the first time drawings, writings, and fonts he created for Sade for Sade’s sake, his monumental project that premiered at the 2009 Venice Biennale.

This unique media rich ebook includes video clips and never before seen drawings and images. It also features writings by Chan that explores the main ideas behind his project.

Using the work of the philosopher Marquis de Sade (1740–1814) as a departure point, Sade for Sade’s sake is a five-hour-and-forty-five-minute video projection as well as a constellation of other works that together evoke the spirit of Sade’s radical critique of freedom and reason for the 21st century.

The Sade e-book features:
- Including never before seen drawings and source materials.
- 4 video clips from sections of the video projection (iPad version only)
- Never before published poems and writings by Chan
- An interactive table of contents for easy browsing
