[artinfo] Open Call: In My Computer

[Domenico Quaranta]

The LINK Center for the Arts of the Information 
Age invites artists, thinkers, and computer users 
to submit proposals for its ongoing book series 
"In My Computer".

One's computer is a repository of valuable things 
that, for some reason, never went public: 
projects, drafts, short notes, private emails, 
unreleased interviews, unpublished texts, tales, 
poems, lists of quotes, image collections, spam 
email collections, whatever.

If you think this content may be relevant or 
interesting also for a wider audience; if you 
think it may work well in book form, circulated 
digitally or printed on paper; the book series 
"In My Computer" may be the right jar for your 
jam.

"In My Computer" is a series of books collecting 
unpublished material available in your computer, 
produced by LINK Editions and circulated both in 
digital and printed form through the 
print-on-demand (POD) service Lulu.com. The book 
can take any shape compatible with POD's 
production and distribution standards. In My 
Computer # 1 | Miltos Manetas has been published 
in 2011, and is available for buying and free 
download here:

LINK Editions is a publishing initiative of the 
LINK Center for the Arts of the Information Age. 
LINK Editions uses the print on demand approach 
to create an accessible, dynamic series of essays 
and pamphlets, but also tutorials, study notes 
and conference proceedings connected to its 
educational activities. A keen advocate of the 
idea that information wants to be free, LINK 
Editions releases its contents free of charge in 
.pdf format, and on paper at a price accessible 
to all. Link Editions is a not-for-profit 
initiative and all its contents are circulated 
under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0
