    Big Books (small snacks)
    Driscoll, E ; Squires, C ; The Pretzel Girlz, ( 2023)
    This original song composition is an intervention in the field of contemporary publishing studies and offers an original research-informed perspective on the dynamics that produce the industry’s highest profile products: bestsellers. The lyrics are original in adopting the perspective of a book, and trace the journey to success, from being drafted to being the subject of industry talks at the Frankfurt Book Fair (where canapes are often served), to being a book club selection and more. The song's key message is that reader buzz is the essential ingredient to success. This narrative is interrupted by a lengthy rap that highlights the competitiveness and ruthlessness of the industry and its "winner takes all" logics. The composition comprises lyrics, a written melody, an audiotrack composed on Garageband using a combination of found sounds and loops, and a lyric video posted on Youtube. Its originality and innovation lie in its depiction of the multiple forces at work in the production of contemporary bestsellers.

    Statement About Books
    Bok, C ; Hegland, F (Future Text Publishing, 2020)
    The Future of Text Book : A 2020 Vision Growing out of the annual Symposium, we have put together a book published by Future Text Publishing on the possible futures of text which has turned out to be the largest survey of the future of text ever undertaken, with a wide range of different perspectives and inspirations. The book is intended to be a collection of dreams for how we want text to evolve as well as how we understand our current textual infrastructures, how we view the history of writing and much more. The aim is to make it inspire a powerfully rich future of text in a multitude of ways today and to still have value in a thousand years and beyond*. It should serve as a record for how we saw the medium of text and how it relates to our world, our problems and each other in the early twenty first century.
