Print and Demand
Just perusing the schedule of events for the New York Art Book Fair, which is swiftly approaching. My money is on Print and Demand #2, presented by Triple Canopy on Sunday, 7 November at 4 pm in the conference room at MoMA PS1, LIC, Queens. Solid speaker line up; solid line of query. A blurb:
The second in an ongoing series of conversations exploring how print culture is being changed by the manifold forms of online publication, and how public spaces are being constituted around those forms. Caleb Waldorf, Triple Canopy creative director and co-organizer of The Public School Los Angeles, will moderate a discussion about the role played by design in shaping digital forms of publication: How are certain tropes of print publication—and the reading and viewing experiences they have engendered—being translated for new media (while others are being jettisoned entirely)? How has the shift from graphic design to user design, with its focus on interaction and interface, changed the way publications function? [A most interesting question, I think.]
Participants include: James Goggin, design director at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and principle of Practise; Jiminie Ha, an independent designer and founder of W/——— project space in Chinatown; and Rob Giampietro, a designer and writer and principal at Project Projects.
