<p>Experimental Publishing (XPUB) is a new study path of the Piet Zwart Institute's Media Design Master programme.</p>
<p>XPUB's interests in publishing are twofold:</p>
<p><b>first</b>, publishing as the inquiry and participation into the technological frameworks, political context and cultural processes through which things are made public;</p>
<p>and <b>second</b>, publishing as the desire to expand the means of discourse circulation beyond print media and its direct digital translation.</p>
<p>Pick the Pig, you are a risky trader. Pick the Chicken, and you'll sit on your eggs until they hatch. Maybe you'll be lucky and get a Bull market, or maybe not and have to deal with the Bear. Tear up a book, and get dealing with the free market, exploitation, taxation and the privatization of services. Pit resources and economics against each other and feel the Artifical Scarity burn.</p>

<p>In the ouvroir de numerisation potentielle (the workshop of potential digitisation, or OuNuPo) the XPUB practitioners reflected on several topics: how culture is shaped by book scanning? Who has access and who is excluded from digital culture? How free software and open source hardware have bootstrapped a new culture of librarians? What happens to text when it becomes data that can be transformed, manipulated and analysed ad nauseam?
To answer these questions, the XPUB practitioners have written software and assembled a unique printed reader.</p>
