Meet H&D at The Book Society. As part of our international guesting in Seoul, H&D will be giving a talk followed by a ChattyPub Workshop.

The talk will be about the coming-into-being of the H&D collective, self-organization and publishing experiments. More specifically we will talk about ways of designing publications collectively, how self-hosted DIY publishing infrastructures and awkward work-arounds shape and bind together collectives of tool-makers and experimental publishers. More specifically, it will explore and discuss the intersections of self-organisation, self-hosting, (of technical infrastructure) and self-publishing (of small edition experimental books and websites) drawing from first-hand experience of working collectively as a designers and hackers.

What is ChattyPub?

ChattyPub is a design tool that applies style and format to the content of posts using Zulip, an open source chat interface. The tool will also develop as the workshop progresses. This process is suitable for multiple people to design publications at the same time, and H&D has been creating a community by revealing the production process of ChattyPub through a series of workshops and exploring the possibilities and limitations of ChattyPub with colleagues.

The ChattyPub workshop to be held at The Book Society will explore a decentralized publishing method that is far from interference, contradiction, and consistency through a hands-on method. It uses a chat interface as a design tool, and is designed so that anyone can style text and images through emoji reactions! However, this style can be changed by other users! :D The results can be zines, posters, web pages, etc.

ChattyPub operates flexibly according to various technologies, group sizes, and interests.
