DIFFUSION eBooks are PDF files designed to be downloaded, printed out and
made into booklets by the reader -a simple and effective mode of publishing
that bypasses many of the problems encountered by small presses and
specialist publishers. The DIFFUSION format challenges conventions of
interactivity -blending the physical and the virtual and breaking the
dominance of mouse and screen as the primary forms of human computer
interaction.
DIFFUSION eBooks are free to download and distribute electronically or as
material objects.
LIQUID GEOGRAPHY
Landscape &Identity;Language &Territory
As part of a collaboration with INIVA (the Institute for International
Visual Arts) Proboscis has commissioned four new eBooks on the themes of
Landscape &Identity;Language &Territory.The eBooks are experimental pilots
examining how innovative uses of new technologies may bridge a range of
disciplines to make ideas and knowledge available to diverse communities.
The focus of the eBooks is an exploration of how innovative uses of media
and new technologies can transform our perception of other societies and
cultures,territories and places,and provide enabling tools which are a
catalyst for the development of new ideas.They act in tandem with a series
of Creative Labs held by Proboscis and INIVA to explore these questions.
The Landscape &Identity;Language &Territory eBooks and Creative Labs are a
demonstration of the possibilities for collaborations between the
arts,academia and civil society organisations using new media and
technology.They aim to extend understandings and establish models of how
artists and designers creative use of technologies can link and strengthen
cultural and civil society agendas.
LILT is part of SoMa ıs Liquid Geography research theme.
