<div>this Friday our Institute of Network Cultures
(www.networkcultures.org) celebrates 20 years of our research group
being based inside the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA).
The party will take place at OT301 with a program featuring our recent
activities, followed by a line-up of DJs.You can find the full program
here:</div>

<div>There is a possibility to follow a live stream of the
event:</div>

There is no doubt that our work over the past years shifted from
networking to publishing, or expanded publishing as we call it these
days. While at the beginning we were focussed on series such as the
INC readers, longforms and Theory of Demand, spreading skills for
independent DIY publishing in hybrid formats, these days we focussing
on online video content and formats with our Void channel, in close
collaboration with our live streaming partner UKRAiNATV in Krakow and
Kyiv and the growing 'Eurovision' network of studios that want to
make a difference to the influencer logic of the ultra-short add logic
of Insta and TikTok. The idea here is create a network that will
support and host its own PeerTube server and do 'hybrid
togetherness' live events. More on that soon!<br>
<br>
Another example of expanded publishing would be my new essay,
published yesterday by Eurozine:</div>

<div>The question here: how do you cope?<br>
