Yesterday, our Experimental Publishing reading group took as one of its chosen texts Tara McPherson’s ‘Scaling Vectors: Thoughts on the Future of Scholarly Communication’, which appeared in the Journal of Electronic Publishing in 2010.

https://quod.lib.umich.edu/j/jep/3336451.0013.208?view=text;rgn=main

It has lines such as: ‘While innovative publishing efforts have emerged from a variety of spaces … it is safe to say that change has not broadly swept through the humanities.’

And: ‘The impulse to conserve the status quo emerges largely from humanities scholars themselves. Faced with a variety of threats (both real and perceived) to the humanities, scholars tend to hold on to established modes of working.’

All raises the question, has much changed in the 15 years since these words were written? And if not, why not? Does anyone have any ideas?

Starting on Tuesday I'll be joining a multi-faceted event at CCBT and Dommune in Tokyo where I’ll participate to talks, discussion sessions and an experts roundtable (including a discussion on 30 years of media art also celebrating 30 years of Neural). The event comprises dissemination performances/exhibitions of creative work, and is a meeting of a delegation from Europe with a local one of artists, musicians, curators and experts “to achieve mutual training in a number of different vectors of care in creative arts” within the “Toolkit of Care” program.
A big thank you to Yukiko Shikata and Marinos Koutsomichalis for curating and organising it, and look forward to seeing all the other participants!
