TITLE
- XPUB workshops – Text Launderette
Station
- Publication Station
Location/Classroom
- BL.00.4
Tutor(s)
- Simon Browne & Pedro Sá Couto
Description
- We will use a home-made, DIY book scanner, and open-source software to scan, process, and add digital features to printed texts brought by the participants to the workshop. Ultimately, we will include them in the “bootleg library”, a shadow library accessible over a local network.
- Shadow libraries operate outside of legal copyright frameworks, in response to decreased open access to knowledge. This workshop aims to extend our research on libraries, their sociability, and methods by which we can add provenance to texts included in public or private, legal or extra-legal collections.
- Participants should bring: a printed text, which they’d like to digitize and share.
Practical information
- Under the name of .py.rate.chnic sessions, the second-year students from the Experimental Publishing Master program invite you to participate in a series of hands-on workshops, related to the topics of their graduation projects. Each workshop offers the participants an opportunity to engage with the students’ research by partaking in their processes, experiments, and discussions.
