XPUB

XPUB is the Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design: Experimental Publishing of the Piet Zwart Institute. XPUB focuses on the acts of making things public and creating publics in the age of post-digital networks.

XPUB’s interests in publishing are therefore twofold: first, publishing as the inquiry and participation into the technological frameworks, political context and cultural processes through which things are made public; and second, how these are, or can be, used to create publics.

In April 2023, XPUB2 invited Aymeric Mansoux to present his thinking on What is Publishing. The discussion revisited the original formulation of the text used to describe XPUB and some of his changes in thinking since its articulation in 2016. This wiki page is an attempt to create a space to open discussion on these terms and their (future) use in relation to the course.
