Content/Form

We are looking forward to the Content/Form research workshop organised by SHAPE Digital Citizenship & Digital Aesthetics Research Center, Aarhus University, and the Centre for the Study of the Networked Image (CSNI), London South Bank University, in collaboration with transmediale festival for digital art & culture, Berlin. The workshop is to be held in Berlin, January 29-31, 2024.

Through the workshop’s activities, we reflect on how the technical conditions relate to sustainable research practices and explore ways of collapsing the traditional workflows of academic publishing, drawing more closely together work-in-progress and feedback, writing and review, experimental print production and its dissemination, form and content. Importantly, our point is to stress how technological and social forms come together, and encourage reflection on shared organisational processes and collectivities.

At the workshop participants not only engage with research questions and offer feedback to eachother, but also with the conditions for producing research, the ways it is shared and reviewed, the infrastructures through which it is served, and more.

In support of this we use ServPub an experimental platform for research and practice on computational publishing, to reflect collectively on affective infrastructures, minor tech and autonomous networks within, and beyond, institutional constraints. ServPub is facilitated by In-grid with contributions from Systerserver and supported by CSNI at LSBU, Creative Computing Institute at UAL, SHAPE at Aarhus University, and Varia/CC.

Content/Form: call for participation

wiki4print

The collective newspaper will be made with wiki4print: a collective publishing environment based on the MediaWiki software and web-to-print layout techniques. Using wiki4print allows us to work shoulder-to-shoulder as collaborative writers, editors, designers, developers, in a non-linear publishing workflow where design and content unfolds at the same time, allowing the one to shape the other.

To get started

Create a page using the form above. The name that you use for your page is just the wiki page name. You can add the title of your 500 words article/text in the page itself.
Make sure that you do not delete the line: [[Category:Content form]], as this will add your page to the Category:Content form. It can be written anywhere on the page, the bottom is usually where most people put it.
After saving the page, it should then appear in the list below.
For editing, please see the editing guide.
For writing feedback/comments to each others contributions: go to the page of the contribution and click the double speech bubble on the top left corner (under the title, on the left side of the star). See the talk page section in the editing guide for more info.

Wiki pages

Approaching the wiki as an environment for the production of collective thought that encourages a type of writing that comes from a social need to have and invite shared discourse, rather than an individual need to proclaim, we propose making wiki pages together:

In this sense a "federated" body of knowledge (along with the tool to share it) can function as a kind of "chorus" - a larger network of voices that are not exactly the same thing, but that contribute, through their very diversity, to a larger whole. — Cunningham, W. and Mehaffy, M.W. 2013. “Wiki as Pattern Language.” In Proceedings of the 20th Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP'13), Monticello, Illinois, USA (October 2013).

How can we do this? We propose the following collective guidelines:

Write wiki pages together! Find wiki buddies; no page should be written alone.
Make wiki links! Each wiki page needs to have at least one link to another page.
Suggest wiki links! Use red links if you would like to see a term that is being used to become a page. See editing guide for help on making red links.

You can create these pages below.

Wiki spam

Please wiki spam! Add info about or links to events you or someone else is organising that resonate with the newspaper, so they can be included in the layout.
