The outcome of the special issue will be the following things:
- 2 book scanners (one to stay at XPUB, one to stay at WORM)
- one unique (as in unique copy) reader in the form of an artist's book.
  The reader will be a collection of texts curated by students and staff
on the topic of book scanner, text mobility, constraint writing,
algorithmic literature, and I also hope the culture and politics of
OCR, text analysis, AI in the context of text processing and generation.
- a collection of different software back-ends for the book scanner, so
  as to reconfigure its functionality, ie you might scan a book, and get
a pdf, the content of which has been manipulated in poetical or critical
way, or you could also get something else entirely, a sound file, an
collection of images, etc.
- a gigantic collection of files produced by combining the reader as
  input source into the scanner making use of the plethora of
different back-ends. IMPORTANT: the reader will never exist as a typical
digital alter-ego of the analog original but only through a multitude of
different digital interpretations.
- an evening launch at WORM with presentation of the reader, back-ends,
  results, etc.

Special Issue 5: OuNuPo, Ouvroir de Numérisation Potentielle

Project Description

Main partner: WORM (WORM's Pirate Bay to be precise)

Special guests: Manetta Berends and Cristina Cochior (Algolit group)


The outcome of the special issue will be the following things:

- 2 book scanners (one to stay at XPUB, one to stay at WORM)

- one unique (as in unique copy) reader in the form of an artist's book. 

 The reader will be a collection of texts curated by students and staff

on the topic of book scanner, text mobility, constraint writing, algorithmic literature, and I also hope the culture and politics of OCR, text analysis, AI in the context of text processing and generation.

- a collection of different software back-ends for the book scanner, so 

 as to reconfigure its functionality, ie you might scan a book, and get

a pdf, the content of which has been manipulated in poetical or critical way, or you could also get something else entirely, a sound file, an collection of images, etc.

- a gigantic collection of files produced by combining the reader as 

 input source into the scanner making use of the plethora of

different back-ends. IMPORTANT: the reader will never exist as a typical digital alter-ego of the analog original but only through a multitude of different digital interpretations.

- an evening launch at WORM with presentation of the reader, back-ends, 

 results, etc.
