Ever since ink turned into toner and pixel, printed paper has been struggling to survive as a medium. Yet, stubborn independent editors are still producing the most endangered species of paper products: the independent magazine. By endlessly reinventing content, technical and economical strategies these magazines are testimony to the distinct qualities of printed publications, such as periodicity, the touch of paper and the smell of copy. Yet , it is precisely the love for the speed of electrons, and an understanding of the potentials of networked media, that have inspired the cultural tactics of these magazines; from print-on-demand, collaborative editing, to sharing content and knowledge. Here collaboration is better than competition.
De Balie presents an evening about the survival strategies of critical independent magazines focusing on digital culture, but with a love for - and insistence on - print.
With the participation of Alessandro Ludovico (editor-in-chief Neural and co-founder of the Mag.Net -Electronic Cultural Publishers), Simon Worthington (co-founder Mute Magazine, co-founder Mag.Net), , Georg Schoellhammer (director Documenta 12 Magazines and editor-in-chief and co-founder of Springerin, co-founder Mag.Net), Arie Altena (media theorist, writer, lecturer and researcher at Jan van Eyck Academy).
Moderation: Nat Muller (De Balie)
