With the dawn of the Instagram age, the time it takes to create and distribute a photograph - what sometimes used to take days - has shrunk to, well, an instant. We're now awash in a torrent of split-second events. Here to impose some permanence on all these feeds is The InstaPaper, a new series of books - actual printed ones - consisting of images from the Instagram accounts of art- and fashion-world luminaries. "It's a way of celebrating and documenting this new wave of creativity happening within the digital space," says Francisco Salvado, the creative director of Soon Is Now, the London creative agency behind the publication. We're bringing it back to the physical world as a beautiful, collective object. The InstaPaper's inaugural edition includes snaps from the photographers KT Auleta and Ben Toms, the Instagram sensation Daniel Arnold, as well as shots from the Milanese fashion arbiter Marcelo Burlon and Tracy Sedino, one half of the creative team behind the revived Linda Farrow eyewear brand. Salvado sees the contradiction in anthologizing pictures from a medium meant to be ephemeral but believes that curating and sharing is the future of expression. "Maybe what we are experiencing after a decade of user-generated content," he says, "is a new generation of user-generated art."
