Real Wall Post

Tuesday, December 28, 2010

By embedding USB-sticks into walls Aram Bartholl started an anonymous offline peer-to-peer network. Many of you may still remember the book exchange shelves of pre-internet hostels, or even came across Bücherwald a paper based ancestor of Bartholl’s digital Dead Drops. And similar to its online predecessors posting on a real world wall is all about [...]

DIGITAL READING SOUVENIRS?

Tuesday, December 7, 2010

Booktwo.org is a blog created in 2006 which aims ‘to investigate, analyse, catalogue and debate the future of literature and the publishing industry.’ Among the big fuzz, discussion and reading junk being published everywhere about the end of books and the future of literature in the digital age, I must say this is one of [...]

THE END OF THE BOOK. OR NOT, AFTER ALL.

Wednesday, October 20, 2010

It’s funny how after the big boom of e-readers, electronic books and all the fuzz, prognostics and predictions about the soon ending of the book, theoreticians, authors, publishers, marketers – and all kinds of field specialists  – are entering a second turning point and gradually changing their minds again, and giving books – and paper [...]

THE SOCIAL NETWORK

Saturday, October 16, 2010

I saw this last night – and really enjoyed it, despite the hype. It kind of confirmed all my prejudices and instinctive dislikes for a certain Internet service. Oh, and the music was composed by someone we know.

Tipp-ex’s ‘A Hunter Shoots a Bear’ is an interactive video posted on Youtube, where you get to choose what happens with the bear after being shot by the hunter! Whatever you type, [...]

HERE & TODAY

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Today marks the first anniversary of mono.blog – yes, indeed: We posted our very first entry on July 21st, 2009. At the time, it was a bit of an experiment to share a little more of our activities and interests beyond the limits of mono.kultur. We thought we’d give it a year to see whether [...]

GOODBYE ‘THE AUTHORS’

Friday, July 9, 2010

…Welcome Mubi. The Movie’s social network The Authors has changed its name to Mubi.
