Hello Fediverse,
Open Source Publishing (OSP), is a design collective based in Brussels, working solely with Free/Libre Open-Source Software (F/LOSS). Our collective formed in 2006 and uses making graphic design and publishing experiments as applied research into digital tools and creative practices.
We (finally) have a Mastodon account here on post.lurk.org (thanks @helpful_heron!). Here we'll post in English about what we are working on and the questions that come up along the way.
What each of us are currently interested in:
- plotter tracing on fabric
- declarative (web)-design
- ascii to svg to pen plotter workflows
- seamfulness
- tech folklore and situated crafts
- experimental book design
- web-to-print
- tools that create (new forms of) collaboration
- local file-sharing and amateur librarianship
- artisanal web
- intimate (shoulder2shoulder) pedagogy
- drawing protocols
- experimental typefaces
- inkscape filters
- (web)-design as institutional therapy
- web physicality
- less screen more hands
- quirky standards
- cartographic webpages
