Practicing soft forms of resistance as an artist
Kinga Molińska, Sweden

Gamebook sobre edición artesanal & electrónica
Lumpérica Editorial
The Gamebook on artisanal and electronic publishing is an electronic book made with programming, it is hyperlinked and interactive. It was also published in printed format and redirects you to the e-book. This electronic essay addresses the literary and book possibilities of using various platforms for literary editing and creation. Both editing and creation are linked and if electronic literature raises new possibilities of collective, political and participatory creation, therefore publishing would also have new possibilities that explore beyond the conventional book format and in its practical work.
reiterations
Fortner Anderson, Canada
“reiterations” is an electronic-book containing 24 sonnets. Depending on the e-book reader that is used, each time reiterations is opened, or each time a page in the book is turned, a JavaScript software integrated into the book recomposes the book’s 24 sonnets. In this way, the book automatically generates a new and unique reading experience with each reading. Each time the poems are generated the previous versions are lost and cannot be retrieved. The number of unique sonnets produced by the software is inhumanly vast. “reiterations” may be read using any EPUB3 capable e-reader, such as Calibre, iBook, Reasily or with a dedicated e-book reader like Kobe.
Fix My Code
EECLECTIC – Digital Publishing for Visual Culture, Germany
The net.art generator is a computer program that collects and recombines material from the internet to create new images. In the course of the 20 years of its existence, it not only became a classic of net.art, but alongside the images, also generated a number of discourses – not the least in the context of copyright and open source. Its most recent disruption has been related to a change in search engine politics. Relying on a Google interface, the program cannot do its job properly anymore and has to permanently frustrate its users, since the giant requires payment for its services. The inventor of the net.art generator, Cornelia Sollfrank, engages in a dialogue with the programmer, artist and researcher Winnie Soon to discuss the question of “What is to be done?”. They take us on a journey into the eventful past of the project, they descend into the level of computer code exploring the value of the breaking points, and speculate on a less evil future.
EECLECTIC – Digital Publishing for Visual Culture is one of the winners of the Deutscher Verlagspreis, in the category endowed seal of quality, awarded by the Federal Government for Culture and Media.
