16 Case stories, re-imagining the practice of layout

Colm o’Neill & Femke Snelting & Gijs de Heij & Pierre Huyghebaert & Pierre Marchand

Description:

[EN]

16 Case stories is a catalogue put together as part of an attempt to rethink lay-out tools, and features case stories that range from historical to present, on to the imaginary and speculative. The ‘camera-ready copy’ of this book was created on a pen plotter: this has required a rethinking of the workflow, including a special font stack built upon engraving tools, to be able to use stroke based fonts.

Tools: Active Archives, Libre Office, Inkscape, Custom Herschey Inkscape plugin, Roland pen plotter, laser printer, glue and scissors. Printing: Risograph and Roland Pen Plotter. Compiled and edited by: Colm O’Neill, Femke Snelting, Gijs de Heij, Pierre Huyghebaert, Pierre Marchand Design: Colm O’Neill, Pierre Huyghebaert

16 Case stories is een catalogus die werd samengesteld als een manier om anders te denken over gereedschappen voor lay-out. Het bestaat uit verhalen rond specifieke gevallen, die zich in verleden en heden afspelen, richting verbeelding en speculatie. Het ‘camera-ready copy’ van dit boek werd gemaakt met een pen plotter: dit betekende dat we ook de workflow moesten herdenken, inclusief het gebruik van een speciaal lettertype-stack op basis van gravure-gereedschappen, zodat we lijngebaseerde letterytypes konden gebruiken.

Gereedschappen: Active Archives, Libre Office, Inkscape, Custom Herschey Inkscape plugin, Roland pen plotter, laser printer, lijm en schaar. Drukwerk: Risograaf en Roland Pen Plotter.

The Video Vortex Reader is the first collection of critical texts to deal with the rapidly emerging world of online video – from its explosive rise in 2005 with YouTube, to its future as a significant form of personal media.

After years of talk about digital convergence and crossmedia platforms we now witness the merger of the Internet and television at a pace no-one predicted. These contributions from scholars, artists and curators evolved from the first two Video Vortex conferences in Brussels and Amsterdam in 2007 which focused on responses to YouTube, and address key issues around independent production and distribution of online video content. What does this new distribution platform mean for artists and activists? What are the alternatives?

Verbindingen/Jonctions 9 took place from 24 until 28 November 2005 between Brussels, Liège and Antwerp.

We wanted to contribute to a critical reading of the underlying structures and applications of two fundamental elements of digital media: language and memory. Instead of unchangeable entities, we consideblack them as instruments for sharing contents and free exchange of information. We were curious about language and code as means to express multiplicity and wanted to find out how dialects, pidgin and slang could act as cultural bridges.

Verbindingen/Jonctions 9 vond plaats van 24 tot 28 november 2005 tussen Brussel, Luik en Antwerpen.

We wilden bijdragen aan een kritische lezing van de onderliggende structuren en toepassingen van twee fundamentele elementen van digitale media: taal en geheugen. In plaats van onveranderlijke entiteiten beschouwen we ze zwart als instrumenten voor het delen van inhoud en vrije uitwisseling van informatie. We waren nieuwsgierig naar taal en code als middelen om multipliciteit uit te drukken en wilden ontdekken hoe dialecten, pidgin en slang als culturele bruggen konden fungeren.
