In My Computer – 2016 Call for Proposals

Author Greg J. SmithCategory Members NewsPosted on:

“In My Computer” is an eclectic and ongoing series of PDFs/Print on demand “essays and pamphlets, tutorials, study notes and conference proceedings” published by the Link Art Center’s Link Editions imprint. In My Computer #12, is resulting from a collaboration between the Link Art Center and Abandon Normal Devices to commission a project that will be made public as an online project as a publication. Their invitation:

One’s computer is a repository of valuable things that, for some reason, never went public: projects, drafts, short notes, private emails, unreleased interviews, unpublished texts, tales, poems, quotes, image or spam email collections, whatever. If you think this content may be relevant or interesting also for a wider audience; if you think it may work well in book form, circulated digitally or printed on paper; the book series “In My Computer” may be the right jar for your jam.
