The Book Unbound focused on how publishing is reacting to the advent
of digital technologies, and on the constantly changing relationships in
the book trade as it moves from print and paper to digital ink and
screen. Seismic shifts are resulting in
emergent business models that challenge the prevailing hierarchies
of cultural gatekeeping, as well as developing new modes of authorship, and reshaping
perceptions of the book as cultural artifact.
The traditional publishing value chain traces the trajectory of
intellectual property from author to reader, where publishing activities
such as editorial, marketing and design are all performed by the
publisher. Now, this process is being disrupted and
disintermediated at every stage.
Traditional to Digital Communications Circuit
We explored the impact of the digital age on publishing through
two modes of enquiry, both of which fed into a series of
infographics depicting changing models of publishing:
Case studies of And Other Stories, Blasted Heath,
Canongate TV, Faber Factory and Guardian Books, focusing on
business models created in response to technological
change.
Experimental enquiry via the research, development and
making of a digital publication (Borderlines) for the iPad, using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.
