XPUB: 11:00 - 13:00 Guest lecture from Lídia Pereira on The Immaterial Labor Union, her community/zine project.
I invited Lídia because her work is very relevant to xpub. First, the project she will present you is not simply an exercise in design and publishing, it has a function. In relation to the discussions we had on vanity publications, Lídia's ILU project comes from a desire to provide a discursive platform for a very specific target audience that are the users of social (media) networks/platforms and their ambiguous status of both content creator, unpaid workers and product themselves. With ILU, publishing is not a one way broadcasting but a useful tool for a community of users who paradoxically lack the organisational and communication means within the factories that are social (media) networks/platforms. Second, ILU is a great illustration of the complementarity of media when it comes to publishing, media design and communication. It exists as a mailing list, occasional meetings, a webzine, and a PDF zine. All these are different manifestations of ILU as opposed to one pure source, that becomes multiplied into different analog/hybrid/digial media. It is post-media in the sense of this complementary of forms and their reciprocal revitalisation.
Both these aspects are very important for the xpub course, and Lídia's work demonstrate them very well. I am sure Lídia's presentation will provide useful fruit for thoughts for the current and the next special issues.
