City As Material : collaborative zine-making events. Proboscis is running a new series of events aiming to bring eclectic groups of people interested in making collaborative publications together on the theme of the city as the material for creative intervention as well as the site of production. We've set a series of topics (Streetscapes, River, Skyline, Underside & Sonic Geographies) and will be inviting special guests to each event to help shape the events. We'll use http://bookleteer.com as the platform for making and producing each event's zine/publication, and we'll be using the bookleteer PPOD service to print a small edition of each publication which will be distributed to the participants. http://cityasmaterial.eventbrite.com/
The first event starts this Friday (15th October) on the topic of Streetscapes, with Tim Wright http://timwright.typepad.com/ as our guest. There are places still available : you can book a place in advance via Eventbrite or take a chance and turn up on the day (first come, first serve). The event is open to anyone : writers, planners, visual artists, architects, filmmakers, programmers, makers, historians, performers, social scientists, anthropologists, choreographers, game-makers... We're hoping to draw out some new perspectives on the city, branching off from some of the well-trodden practices (such as psychogeography). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proboscis http://proboscis.org.uk | http://diffusion.org.uk | http://bookleteer.com _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
