Publish or Perish! Do you feel a sense of dread when you open Adobe Indesign or Microsoft Word? If so, Publish or Perish! is the Desktop Publishing tool that’s right for you. With its pressure cooking countdown, a series of sudden disruptions, and achievements to get, Publish or Perish! makes Desktop Publishing challenging like it was back in the days. Publish or Perish! will catapult you to a place where software meets the unexpected.

Publish or Perish is the name for the research and creation project that Silvio Lorusso and Stef Kors, on behalf of the PublishingLab of Amsterdam, have developed for Foto Colectania. This commission has materialized in a free online digital content publishing web/app with the capacity to publish both images and texts.

The work was presented in Barcelona during a Printing Party at Foto Colectania as part of the DONE3 festival.

oneacre.online, Ingrid Eel's, Poetics and Politics of Erasure Poetics and Politics of Erasure is a multidisciplinary essay on the aesthetics and politics of erasure. The framework for erasure is drawn from a critique of accelerationism, the video game Katamari Damacy, and internet aesthetics. It begins by investigating power relations in dominant archival practices, before tracing how memory storage technology (from the written word to the internet) reinforces hierarchical models of knowledge, and finally posing the generative potential of erasure in alternative models of knowing, doing, and being. It does so by locating strategies of erasure in audio, visual, and digital cultures in the forms of: erasure/forgetting, translation/mutation, and recontextualizing/remythologizing. oneacre.online had a small feature in the Sonic Acts Academy book.
