Fakepress: A Next-Step Publishing House

Abstract

FakePress explores the opportunities for the next-step transformation of publishing practices, designing publications that are disseminated, ubiquitous, multi-author, emergent, open-ended, natively cross-medial, multi-sensorial, relational, emotional. The objective is to disarticulate the form of the book, transforming it into a new form of experience that is designed to be used off bodies, architectures, objects or geographical places, by using ubiquitous, mobile, wearable, embeddable, architecturable technologies and spimes that are able to leverage and give expression to ethnographic insights on communication, cultural networks, emotion, interaction and self-representations.
