Influences for graduation project. See also Works I've Enjoyed.
Democratic curation/publishing
- 'The Piracy Project' by AND Publishing
- Making digital issues physical. Non-overly hierarchical way of bringing together a collection of autonomous works.
- Dead Drops (2011-), Aram Bartholl, http://deaddrops.com/
- Another offline network, taking 'digital' into physical space & inviting strangers to take risks together
- Assembling Press (1970-1982), Richard Kostelanetz http://www.richardkostelanetz.com/inventories/assembling.html
- Public invited to send in 1,000 copies of anything they wanted included. Burden of production shifted onto authors; distribution of resources determines who gets published - rather than more elaborate democratic means. (Post Digital Print p.45)
Collaborative authoring
- EpicPedia (2008), Annemieke van der Hoek, http://www.epicpedia.org/
- re-performs collaborative editing. A nice treatment to make sense of the history of collaborative texts
Web to Print
- The BlogPaper (Beta) http://www.theblogpaper.co.uk
- Fascinating appropriation of "citizen journalism" web-to-print. Like a for-profit Indymedia (writers give articles for free, upload them to the BlogPaper site) where most popular/discussed items get printed and handed out in London. Note prevalence of 'Comment Is Free' style racist nutters & PR press releases. Why does everyone want to create their own walled-garden "community", rather than aggregate?
- Bambina Precoce (1984-1986), Tommaso Tozzi http://www.tommasotozzi.it/index.php?title=Bambina_Precoce_%281984%29
- Fanzine distributed by being posted on walls around Florence. How else could printed material be distributed?
Amplifying the Other
- Vitruvian Paint Machine (2009) by Conditional Design http://conditionaldesign.org/workshops/vitruvian-paint-machine/
- Artist experiments with surrendering control to the Other; becomes 'programmable' << opens up links between computers (commands) and social power/instruction
- Skin (2003), Shelley Jackson, http://ineradicablestain.com/skin-video.html
- The aesthetic of a distributed network, taken offline & entirely relying on the living body.Frustrating lack of documentation of the original work; this video is a remix.
- ExtInked, UHC Collective http://www.uhc.org.uk/portfolio.php?tag=13&project=54
- Beautiful use of volunteers in ritual-like format; demands long-term commitment; participants are 'witnesses not spectators' a la Etchells
