Reformat — новые форматы книги

 

Медиакниги появились на современной арт-сцене совсем недавно, в пределах пяти лет. Их формы близки актуальному видеоарту, соединяя в своих технологиях текст и образ. В своих проектах, подготовленных специально для Фестиваля, ряд художников открывает новые возможности постгутенберговских стратегий, наглядно демонстрируя дигитальную «текстовую» природу нашей цивилизации. Технологии медиа-книги не только предлагают особые информационные формы, включающие в себя новую жизнь визуально-текстового пространства, но и интерактивное программирование, «разрешающее» читателю участвовать в творческом процессе создания конструкции книги.

Надо сходить.

January 1st 2010 — and every January 1st –  is public domain day, the day we celebrate the entry of copyrighted works into the public domain.  In the United States no published work will pass into the public domain tomorrow — nor the next year, nor any year until 2019.  (If you lived in Europe you might now be celebrating the release of the works of Freud or Yeats.)  Thus, we have little to celebrate, and many costs to mourn.  Its sad to look at the works that could be entering the public domain today.

Groups around the world are using Public Domain Day as a way to explain the effects of our copyright system on our collective culture.   (Communia’s site and the Public Domain Works registry deserve special attention.)  )   For more details about Public Domain Day  go to the Center for the Study of the Public Domain’s Public Domain Day Website, or visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.  And happy Public Domain Day, and Happy New Year, to all of you.

If you like it, please consider buying a copy.

Why am I allowing you to copy the book for free?  And why is Yale University Press letting me?   To understand why I am doing it, watch this video by Jesse Dylan.  And if you want to  understand why it  makes economic sense to my publisher, read this short article.

Download the book as a pdf. (1.6Mb)

This is the book exactly as it is printed — same typesetting and pagination.  The pdf is searchable and has bookmarks for each chapter.  If clicking on the link doesn’t open the book in your browser — which takes a few seconds, depending on the speed of your connection –  right click the link and choose “Save As” (on a PC) or Control-click (on a Mac) and choose “Save Link As”.  Then double click the file you have downloaded.  If you are the impatient type, here is a link to a faster loading and slightly smaller version which you should be able to start reading even as it downloads.  The downside is, some people have experienced problems with it; (older versions of Acrobat, some versions of Mozilla Firefox, some Linux pdf viewers..)
