<p><summary> XPUB is the Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design: Experimental Publishing of the Piet Zwart Institute. XPUB focuses on the acts of making things public and creating publics in the age of post-digital networks. </summary></p>
<p>XPUB’s interests in publishing are therefore twofold: first, publishing as the inquiry and participation into the technological frameworks, political context and cultural processes through which things are made public; and second, how these are, or can be, used to create publics.</p>

<summary> Welcome to the XPUB homepage with links to tools and webpages we use in the course. </summary> An important part of the XPUB course is considering the implications of the technologies and tools we use, how the choices have an impact socially, environmentally, politically. In this spirit, rather than relying heavily on cloud services, XPUB (self-) hosts and maintains many of the servers and services that the course uses. Students learn and practice skills of programming and server maintenance in order to gain first hand experience with the materials of software and networks.

<p><summary> Paged.js Workshop</p>
<p><img src="./images/650x400_thumb_pagedjs.png" /> </summary> Julie Blanc and Julien Taquet from the paged.js project share their experiences at the intersection of design practice and technical standards.</p>
<p><a href="https://pagedjs.org/">Paged.js</a> is a rendering tool for previewing, inspecting and designing a PDF in the browser, that is known for specifically accommodating designers using web-to-print techniques in their publications and book making practice. Julie and Julien both work (or have worked) as developers on the project, so the workshop gave students an opportunity to ask them about Paged.js as an open source project, and what it means to develop and maintain it. A nice example of paged.js in action is <a href="https://media.xpub.nl/2022/walkie-talkie.pdf">Walkie Talkie</a>, the 2022 XPUB graduation catalog.</p>
