The Mag.net reader 3

Of Process and Gestures: A Publishing Act

magnet reader 3

" Publishing is no longer a question of 'readership' but of resonance. Only lazy, old media add up the numbers of individuals who look at what they publish, and leave their audience research at that. More astute contemporary publishing focuses on resonance and the shifting of forces within unacknoledged collectives and tecnical networks."

" We did not want to perform a requiem for loss of print, but rather insist on how a love for speed and electrons in many ways contributes to the survival of hard copy. And I guess we also wanted to talk about our love for the tactility of the printed word: from the smell of ink to the feel of the page..."

Experiences in Electronic Cultural Publishing

" This short history of Mag.net, as well as the book which it introduces, should however not be read as an obituary, but as a monument to the desire for sharing and working together. The magazines involved represent some of the most important media for the critical reflexion of culture and art in an age strongly influenced by digital technologies and their social repercussions. Their persistence - some of them are still going strong after over twelve years - testifies to the importance of print in a time that purports to be 'digital' while remaining intensely analogue in many aspects, for better and for worse."
