Exploring Expanded Publishing (EX-Pub)

The traditional publishing model faces inability to include all new emerging knowledge in its existing formats, especially knowledge from experimental, artistic or niche practices. A book cannot carry a sound, a theater performance is not the same if seen online, a participatory practices cannot be published. The traditional publishing model has been facing serious troubles, deriving from supply chain crisis, insufficient and poor usage of tech options available, and disinterested audiences (especially true for niche and smaller publishers). On the other hand, the emerging Expanded Publishing (EP) that has potential to tackle these issues, never got through experimental phase and remains fragmented without a common model.

The EX-Pub (Exploring Expanded Publishing: Research, production and modelling of Expanded Publishing) project is about researching and producing new EP formats and their combinations, develop a Toolkit for EP, and prototype these actions into a novel operating model for Expanded Publishing. These 3 key deliverables provide new capacities, new professional opportunities for creative sector, and sustainable potential for future spin-offs, upgrades, replications, scale-ups, etc.

Target groups include: publishers, editors, producers, artists, art directors, curators, grass-root collectives, technicians, art researchers, and wider audiences: students, theorists, music, comics and art enthusiasts, performers, clubbers, etc. They will all be actively involved in the EP formats and Toolkit development. EX-Pub will be realized through 10+ complementary approaches and methods. Activities include research-production-dissemination axis, prototyping and development, commissioned artworks, and snowball-like progressing of EP formats processing the main theme: internet aesthetics. Main results are: 20 new EP formats, 8 combinations of those formats, 1 digital EP Toolkit, 1 operational model for EP, 9 capacity-building activities, 8 direct (conference, live events) and indirect (booklets, zines etc.) activities of audience engagement and cooperation.
