The @copim community is convening a hybrid session (featuring @simonxix) that explores the use of #Markdown in scholarly writing and #publishing workflows, using a digital monograph use case at the iconic Koninklijke Bibliotheek in Den Haag.
Markdown, dive deep - A hybrid online session exploring markdown writing & publishing for deep mapping 23 May 2025, 15:00-16:30 CET. https://copim.pubpub.org/pub/mukedux8/release/1 #Juncture #scholcomm #OpenAccess #OpenBooks #COPIM
In June, OHP published Ecological Rewriting: Situated Engagements with The Chernobyl Herbarium:

Edited by Gabriela Méndez Cota, Ecological Rewriting is authored Méndez Cota, Etelvina Bernal Méndez, Sandra Hernández Reyes, Sandra Loyola Guízar, Fernanda Rodríguez González, Yareni Monteón López, Deni Garciamoreno Becerril, Nidia Rosales Moreno, Xóchitl Arteaga Villamil and Carolina Cuevas Parra.
Supported by the #COPIM project, Ecological Rewriting is the creation of a collective of researchers, students and technologists from the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City. This group of (re)writers annotate and remix The Chernobyl Herbarium: Fragments of an Exploded Consciousness by the philosopher Michael Marder and the artist Anaïs Tondeur (originally published in OHP’s Critical Climate Change series) to produce what is a new book in its own right – albeit one that comments upon and engages with the original.

Really enjoyed the Que(e)rying #Wikidata workshop with An Mertens and Z. Blace on Thursday - the second part of COPIM’s #ExperimentalBooks conference. (The third part is on Monday: https://experimentalbooks.pubpub.org/part3)
An is part of Anaïs Berck. Since 2019, this pseudonym has been used to refer to a collaboration between humans, algorithms and trees. By combining human, plant and artificial intelligences, the Anaïs Berck collective crafts narratives that position trees at the centre of its work while simultaneously decentering the perspective of humans.

Anaïs Berck’s experimental algoliterary book Paseo por arboles de madrid, for example, employs the Markov Chain algorithm to create both a poem and a tour of the trees in the Las Letras neighborhood, which is located in the heart of Madrid
