PRINT/PIXEL
International conference on the shifting relation between electronic
and paper publishing.
With e-books, print-on-demand and other hybrid media, online and offline
media can no longer be separated, but complement each other. What
advanced cross-media and computer-generative publication and design
strategies exist beyond copy-paste? How do new technological
developments and the crisis of print news media change the world of
designers, editors and publishers? International cutting-edge
designers, software developers, publishers and researchers will give
insight into their own solutions and discuss the future of publishing.
Organized by the research project Communication in a Digital Age
