Centre for the Study of the Networked Image
We understand publishing as not simply a means of dissemination of research but as a experimental field of practice and research object in itself. We aim to expand the means and meaning of what is considered to be publishing by investigating the situation in which the act of making things public is central. By creating a ‘publics’ we want to engage people with a broad set of intermingled and collaborative practices, both inherited and to be invented, to critically explore and actively engage with societal issues through experimental publishing.
The Open Book Futures (OBF) Experimental Publishing Group is pleased to announce the launch of ‘Servpub – A Collective Infrastructure to Serve and Publish’, one of three funded pilot projects resulting from OBF’s call for experimental book projects.
