open call through network of Transmediale

early drafts 

2000 wrds, blog, comments - dialogue (already familiar with each others work)

a meeting of 2-3 days: presentations, sharing

a rewriting of the texts -- cut back to 1000 wrds (usually), to make fit the newspaper

at Transmediale, distribution newspaper + event

on-line journal is more formal, expand again to 4000 -- some

preplanning stage
every year different partner, meet in different space

last year: liverpool biennial, hongkong, arhus
next year Constant? Brussels?

what theme -- 

dialogue with Transmediale?
independent first, but now in that context; speculate in relation to their topic from research perspective. 
it is not one to one
interesting process in conversation with Christopher, not literally take over topic
ex. post-digital/post-media -- afterglow

They are part of it but we work independently. presence in TM is mostly through the newspaper. 

Design of the newspaper: Manuel -- designer at Transmediale
What about libre graphics, hybrid publishing -- writing between on-line and off-line

participants?
people that do research; funded by graduate school. But question "what is research" is open. Trying to include a wide range
can be independents, traditional academics/free practisers

most people go all the way, not everyone makes it all the way but find the process interesting
they follow the classical university preocess: peer reviewing, peer-of-peer reviewing -> not everyone gets paper published online

acknowledgment from the institution, to engage with that in a meaningful way. 

exchange between different experiences of research?
yes, + 1 or 2 people are invited, make them part of the same process

themes?
Kristoffer has strong ideas ...
cqrrelations ... what comes after? how does it connect to Libre Graphics, hybrid publishing ...
"elemental research", including algorithmic machine learning, block chain
needs to connect to work we are doing/what we are looking into
opening up the format of the journal even more.
more interaction between writing and publishing ... machinic writers?
it is exciting! trying to be sensible to conservatism of scientific publishing, has to be recognized as 'worth it'
online journal is conventional
it is only one form, multiple forms can be possible

planning?
Meeting: mid to end October -- 12-15 people
Open call: June, deadline early August -> mid August
Writing first text: September

involve PZI?
some funding, rely on people to travel on their on institution, can fund speakers, not students
need local support for tea, coffee etc 
newspaper needs to be funding-> is funded by them

infrastructural development / online platform / web2print? 
build in to the workshop, can be functional in the future
conceptual/technical development
needs designer/developers involved ...

FS meets Geoff in Malmo end April
Geoff + An + FS meet in Brussels in June

Budget

Constant: co-production, or how does it work?
used to work with universities who see it as part of their work
PZI: design system/writing?
someone from staff contribute to the event -- students travel, some fee.
small financial support: sandwiches/coffee + funding our work?
maybe Research center Florian Cramer http://creating010.com/en/

Funding for Geoff & Christian

Funding for speakers
