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?
