Thesis outline proposal sketches

At the moment I'm still really unsure what I question myself the most. I would like to research something that contains an eco-friendly way of publishing and producing. Something that is interactive. For example an Open Call; not only showing the end results in a project, but in asking participation in involvement ideas can have offspring. I don't feel the urge to show only projects, or tell how to do this. I would like to investigate more how we perceive publishing projects. How do we publish in a durable way? When does a project last long in terms of changing something on the long term? How do publishers reflect on the materialistic side that comes with producing?

Questions that are in my interest:

¿How to make participation art in the anthropocene?

¿How to address publishing aspects in the anthropocene?

¿What are publishing projects with a low production cost?

¿What are small initimate publishing projects (using mail) that generated a wide audience?

¿Publishing using an interactive aspect

¿What are intimate publishing projects?

¿How to adress our problems of the anthropocene with a hidden agenda?

¿What are examples of light/minimalistic publishing?

¿How to question the production problems in the Anthropocene by small projects?

¿How can Open Calls influence production processes?
