One munday evening, we were talking about random topics then ended up asking what publishing really is?
chatty, messy, sticky, tsss...
In Habitat (Tredozio, IT)
Behind scenes and process
Procedure (step-by-step):
a: Relay book binding (chae nami also chose tools)
a-1) introduce what we're going to do; part one relay book binding
(10-15m)
Start from our title and unpack the (background) story of the workshop
idea. Let participants know that the workshop will recorded as
soundscape and ask if they're okay with it.
a-2) Play around with tools (15m)
Before get into the binding session, participants have 15 minutes to
play around with the prepared tools. They can touch and use a few of
them and will have the sense of materiality. Participants sit around a
table and each of them has a specific role. (e.g. Person A cuts
papers, person B punches holes, person C tapes, person D folds, etc).
Through the relayed tasks, they will make collaborative
publication(s). During the session, they will share their t
If we think of the word publishing, we're prone to be stuck with an idea that we work for some documents in Adobe applications, then print, then glue.
Could be more than this...
Various forms of actions...
All-together!
Hmmm indeed...we tend to 'bind' in the end of the book making.
One
publication is borned when every single different page gets glued
together. Oh wait, it's just like Buchimgae (Korean pancake)
making! All the different ingredients gets mingled and binded in
the batter!
Glued...?
True! Also in our culture, we share Buchimgae together! We don't usually have one pancake individually. Cooking and tearing the pancake together, we share so many things.
What if we create a moment of collective book binding? Then cooking Buchingae together! Everyone makes a page and bind together!
Bind in a relay format?!
Maybe it would have been nicer if we have the participants to sit in mixed composition.
Some participants were already close eacch other and mainly spoke in Italian in their own group.
