Introduction

The H&D Bulletin is an occasional publication that brings together practical and reflective articles, conversations and manuals, experimental, poetic, visual, or otherwise speculative contributions from the H&D cosmos.

The bulletins are published and distributed via the H&D website and the H&D mailing list. Printed copies are distributed through independent book stores, publishing fairs and the H&D network whenever there is an opportunity.

This edition of the H&D bulletin reflects on the rework sessions we hosted surrounding the topic of self-organization, and the past summer camp. To this end, we invited a variety of participants to share about their workshop. This bulletin was assembled, edited and designed using Octomode, an experimental publishing tool developed by Varia members. Octomode is a collective editing space for making PDFs, using Etherpad, Paged.js, and Flask. Varia is a Rotterdam-based collective and space for developing collective approaches to everyday technology (https://varia.zone/en/).

"Inspired by the non-centralized, tentacular cognitive capabilities of the octopus, we imagined a space in which the artificial boundaries of writing and designing can be crossed; where writing, editing, and designing can be done in one environment simultaneously, allowing the format to influence the matter and vice-versa.”
