Structure / Prep

Each of the thematic's days could perhaps be organized, according to:

• 10:00 - 11:00 Reading list presentation and discussion. Aiming to prepared the ground for the presentations that will follow. Participants present (organized in groups) 2 or 3 of the titles from the reading list.
• 11:00 - 13:00 Guest presentations
• 14:00 - 17:00 Workshop - how to create the publication? We need to walk together through the material, the aim of the publication, the different necessary tasks:
  • works: storing, describing classifying on the wiki
  • publishing pipeline: getting the content from wiki into a publishable form
  • front-end design: how the publishable output(s) will look like.
  • communication and distribution

Reading list: key arguments

Hayles, Katherine. Writing Machines

Chapters: 1,2,3

• the work being influenced by the materiality of its inscription technologies
• artist's book and concrete poetry reflect upon and expose this influence of the inscription technologies. (22:05, 27 September 2015 (CEST) will also include some web art works - Jodi - or glitch art though the introduction of errors).

elaboration ideas:

• how is the current writing inscription technologies affecting what is being written? Examples of this influence are clear in music the 3' song form that result form the duration of a side from a 78rpm record.
• can the publication of works across multiple media, like in hybrid publishing, inhibit the dialog and reflection between work and inscription technology?

• links to other texts:
  • Lori Emmerson: the influence of writing interfaces - typewriter, computer terminal, ipad - on the text works produce with them.
  • Johanna Drucker "A Centruy of Artists Books": artists books as self-reflexive objects
  • Johanna Drucker "Graphesis": proposals for exploration of writing technologies - footnotes, taes of contents, referencing, etc - in digital and networked environments.
