Weaving Tapestries Workshop with Bob Stein & Dan Visel | 9 June | 9:00 – 17:30 | Leiden University
Join us on Tuesday 9th June for a workshop on alternative publication methods in academia with Bob Stein and Dan Visel from the Tapestries project.
On 9 June, we’re hosting a day-long gathering on the futures of multimodal publication, with Bob Stein, long-time provocateur of what books and scholarship might yet become, and Dan Visel, whose work lies in the intersections of publishing, technology and design. Together with Andrew Hoffman and the CARMA project, we’ll dig into how multimodal research gets published, circulated, and read, and what infrastructures (technical, institutional, social) we might need to build along the way.
This workshop will explore the affordances of platforms that enable sharing/publishing of multimodal and artistic research (e.g., Tapestries) and invite a collective discussion of whether/how such tools can be brought to productively interface with other emerging/evolving practices and infrastructure supporting (digital) preservation, modular publishing, and peer review.
