Performative Publications

Sunday, September 14, 2014 at 2:35PM

Now live: the performative project Janneke Adema has put together to create an alternative take on, and artist’s book out of, ‘The Political Nature of the Book: On Artists’ Books and Radical Open Access’. This is an article Janneke and I wrote together, the original version of which was published in New Formations last year.

The project is part of a larger programme of research on performative publications Janneke is carrying out. It is available at http://disruptivemedia.org.uk/thepoliticalnatureofthebook/index1.html and consists of a website and accompanying posters, which have both been designed by Coventry University 2nd year design students Nabaa Baqir, Mila Spasova and Serhan Curti.

Information about the different multimedial ways of engaging with the text both online and offline, together with some of Janneke's thoughts on the concept of performative publications, and reflections on how this particular project was conceived and developed, are available on her Open Reflections blog as well as that of the Centre for Disruptive Media.

Updated on 25 April, 2024. Media Gifts is 'raw in its focus on content', having been constructed according to some of the principles of Brutalist Web Design set out by David Bryant Copeland. Except where otherwise indicated, content on Media Gifts can be distributed, reproduced, transmitted, translated, modified, remixed, built upon, used and 'pirated' in any medium, even without indication of origin. (This does not affect any rights others may have in it or in how it is used.) Given the lack of a licence that is consistent with the (inhumanist) approach to copyright that is articulated and enacted on Media Gifts - although the cc4r licence (https://gitlab.constantvzw.org/unbound/cc4r) comes closer than most - this statement is provided to acknowledge yet deny the copyrighting that is performed by default by a public domain CC-O licence or when all rights are otherwise waived.
