Fw: [80c] Call for Workshops: Urgent Publishing conference this May in Amsterdam/Arnhem (miriam@networkcultures.org)

by Aymeric Mansoux

----- Forwarded message from Miriam Rasch <miriam(a)networkcultures.org> ----- Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2019 09:07:03 +0100 From: Miriam Rasch <miriam(a)networkcultures.org> To: 80c(a)we.lurk.org Subject: [80c] Call for Workshops: Urgent Publishing conference this May in Amsterdam/Arnhem Hello, From: http://networkcultures.org/makingpublic/2019/02/14/call-for-workshops-urg... This is an open call for workshops by artists, activists, technologists, designers, researchers, teachers, students, collectives or groups to the conference ‘Urgent Publishing: New strategies in post-truth times’ to be held on 15-17 May in Amsterdam & Arnhem, the Netherlands. Wednesday 15th of May: Pre-conference night in Amsterdam Thursday 16th of May: First conference day in Arnhem: sessions and panels Friday 17th of May: Second conference day in Arnhem: workshops During the first day of the conference (May 16th) panel sessions will be organized for three specific themes: • The Carrier Bag Theory of Non-Fiction: Modularity / Undercommons / Multi-voice Publishing • Means and Memes: Activist strategies against the mainstream publishing practices. A look at federated publishing, memetics, synchronization, and more. • The Afterlife of the Publication: the continued existence of the publication in different formats, on different platforms. Does it survive & thrive or will it suffer a slow, unimportant death? For the second day of the conference (May 17th) we are looking for workshops that can tie into these themes that are hands-on and collaborative. Zine-making, coding, visualization techniques are a few examples of what we are looking for in a workshop, but we consider anything interesting and hands-on. Background: The 21st century has witnessed the liberation of publishing practices. Digital technologies have brought the printing press to the masses. Who gets to publish and when, the medium used and the channels through which information is consumed have all changed drastically. An ever accelerating development of emergent technologies has lead to a wide array of emergent publishing practices, be it in the form of longreads, vlogs, zines, collaborative platforms or print-on-demand – all the while leaving the status of and love for paper books intact. A plethora of tools, applications, infrastructures, models, and hacks thus makes many futures of publishing possible. How to realize sustainable, high-quality alternatives within this domain of post-digital publishing? Liberation comes with its downsides: while the availability of publishing technologies have helped bring different voices onto the stage, connect new communities and identify hegemonic intersections of power, they have also played a role in bringing about what is known as the ‘post-truth era’. Critical interventions have been somewhat self-referential and concentrated on the needs and demands of people and communities engaged in the history of art or avantgarde publishing. In the meantime the scale and scope of once emergent publishing practices have exploded, leaving a disenchanted public to scavenge the rubble of breaking fake news stories, information pollution and broken links. Speed and availability of publications may have increased, but the quality of the information presented and of its containers lags behind. What is needed is a break with the old, closed pre-digital era of gatekeepers or high entry costs. Publishers, writers, researchers, designers and developers need new strategies for urgent publishing. A critical set of discourses, practices and productions to intervene in the public debate with high-quality information that can be issued in a timely manner and that will reach the desired audiences. The development of such a toolbox of strategies has been the focus of diverse critical cultures that have interacted and experimented with publishing in the last two decades. Concentrated efforts directed towards furthering these practices within the context of the current information age will open up robust futures for a publishing domain that remains forever emergent – and urgent. Do you want to organise a workshop? Please send in your proposal to kelly [at] networkcultures [dot] org with the following info: • Workshop title, subject and a short description (200 words) of what you want to do • The desired length of the workshop (both full day and half day are possible) • Materials needed or other requirements The deadline for proposals is Friday March 1st, 2019. --- Miriam Rasch Institute of Network Cultures Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences | HvA room 04A07 Rhijnspoorplein 1 NL-1091 GC Amsterdam t: +31 20 5951865 miriam(a)networkcultures.org www.networkcultures.org @INCAmsterdam _______________________________________________ Eightycolumn mailing list -- 80c(a)we.lurk.org To unsubscribe send an email to 80c-leave(a)we.lurk.org ----- End forwarded message ----- a. -- https://bleu255.com/~aymeric

There is a new URL for the git repos

by Aymeric Mansoux

Hey everyone, the git repositories have been migrated to new server (thanks gnd!) and we are now serving these from git.xpub.nl It means 2 things: - to access the Gitea interface, you need to go there: https://git.xpub.nl/ and forget about the old URL :) - you need to edit your local cloned/created git repository on your computer so that git also knows that it needs to pull from and push to the new URL. To do that it's simple, in each of your git repositories, there is the '.git' hidden folder (you remember?) and in this folder there is a file called 'config', edit this file your fav text editor, and look for the line where the old gitea.xpub.nl is written, simply edit the line so that you replace gitea with git, save, done. If there are problems, ping here, there might be some leftover glitches. a. -- https://bleu255.com/~aymeric
