Special Issue 5 - OuNuPo - XPUB
In the Ouvroir de Numérisation Potentielle (the workshop of potential digitisation, or OuNuPo) the XPUB practitioners reflected on several topics: how culture is shaped by book scanning? Who has access and who is excluded from digital culture? How free software and open source hardware have bootstrapped a new culture of librarians? What happens to text when it becomes data that can be transformed, manipulated and analysed ad nauseam? To answer these questions, the XPUB practitioners have written software, built a bookscanner and assembled a unique printed reader.
