dc.description.abstract |
The Durational Book Group is comprised of media artists Chris Caines and Megan Heyward, design researchers Zoë Sadokierski and Jacqueline Kasunic, and poet/essayist Astrid Lorange. While all five have well recognised individual practices, they are linked by an appreciation of the fertile interplay between forms and technologies, in particular that between text and graphic, audiovisual, networked and sculptural forms. The group was formed to explore the intersections and extensions afforded by interdisciplinary collaborative practice. During ISEA2013 (International Symposium for Electronic Art) the first iteration of the Durational Book project expanded the historical idea of the book to include forms of contemporary media: print media was mixed with audio-visual and interactive content. The group worked from the State Library of NSW's archive to generation of a variety of speculative works, investigating the library as a creative tool. During the week-long event, the artists added daily to a new archive of analogue and digital material, text, illustration, video and sound. This material will eventually form the content of an expanded `book'. |

Durational Book was a week-long collaborative performance project that explored the nature of the expanded book. Research Background This research sits in the field electronic literature, and the field of design. Michael Joyce demonstrated that it is possible to use hypertext as a form to explore literary techniques and ideas. Mark Amerika’s work showed that electronic literature allows for the non-linear expansion of hypertext literature. Howard Rheingold argued that hypertext literature has an extensive history in analog forms before its digital manifestations. The research question addressed by this project is: if a work applied the digitally derived idea of the expanded book into physical works, what form would they take? Research Contribution Durational Book shows that that analog books can embody digital non-linear modes of reading through the use of design elements such as concertinaed structures that fold out to A0 size, flaps that reveal hidden text and branching structures that offer the reader variable pathways through the text. Research Significance The Durational Book event was held at the State Library of NSW gallery as part of the international Electronic Arts Festival ISEA 2013. Real Time magazine described the work as “poetic fragments distilled in physical form”. |
