Collaborative Futures

News · Texts · February 1st, 2010 · Femke · No Comments

Collaboration can be so strong it forces hard boundaries. The boundaries can intentionally or unintentionally exclude the possibility to extend the collaboration. Potentially conflict can also occur at these borders

For this years’ Transmediale Festival, the F/LOSS Manuals project took up the challenge to write, edit and publish a collaborative publication in 5 days while test driving the alpha-release of their booki platform.

People feel joy, as opposed to mere pleasure, to [...]

Alexandre Leray and Lauren Grusenmeyer just finished an intense collaboration for the website of the literary platform nY— website en tijdschrift voor literatuur, kritiek & amusement, voorheen yang & freespace Nieuwzuid.

nY-web exists indepently next to the paper edition with it’s own editorial staff, writers categories and settings. While nY is a magazine with a profound literary history it confirms it’s existence as an independent web platform, that is to say — it uses full virtues of publishing online.
