I have recently published a chapter of Networked: A (networked book) about (networked art), “an open book designed to be written, edited and read in a networked environment.”
The project has been commissioned by Turbulence.org, and implemented in collaboration with the Institute for the Future of the Book in 2008. After an international committee selected five chapters, the editors, Jo Anne Greene, Helen Thorington (Turbulence) and Eduardo Navas, invited new authors, including myself, to contribute new chapters to the book.
At the moment seven authors and three editors are holding a stimulating conversation on the potentialities of collaborative writing and networked editing on the empire mailing list, with the goal of collecting feedback from potential readers and inviting new contributors to participate.
Everyone can post comments on any of the existing chapters. Mine, titled “No End In Sight: Networked Art as a Participatory form of Storytelling” is available at http://deseriis.networkedbook.org.
