We are pleased to invite you to window.open(), a day-long festival, held by students and alumni of the Master of Experimental Publishing (XPUB) at Page Not Found.
A window is a framing device, an interface through which we can look inside, to spaces where small groups meet, and outside to the world beyond. Screens and windows delineate boundaries between public and private. Working with(in) a limitation, a frame(work), a situation, a context means adjusting our work to the state of affairs; it changes our way of thinking/framing it. We adjust, in order to be able to communicate within a temporary window of time, reframing our intentions and seeking opportunities to share some real-time realness.
window.open() at PNF will be an interface for our XPUB program to speak/communicate to/with the public inside and outside of the physical space. We adjust, using windows in the street and in the browser in order to be able to communicate. This frames it as a "discursive/dialogical interface" through which attitudes, perspectives, backgrounds and situations are explored together in a program consisting of: presentations, workshops, publication launches, conversations and performances; both online and offline.
