summary: Join us for the Publishing Partyline on the 14th and 15th of October, to dive into the dependency relations that are being formed when working with web-to-print techniques, between designers-and-tools and between tools-and-standards.
|
|
|
|
In 2014, CSS regions became unsupported by browsers such as Chrome, Chromium and Opera. Until then, this had been a way to deal with multiple text flows in web-to-print publications, mostly for multi-lingual and multi-purpose texts to sit close together in a layout. What followed was not just an adaptation to the new standard, but also attempts to maintain the old one with hacks and workarounds. Shifting standards precipitate adaptations to a new way of working, as well as careful preservation of tried-and-true methods. Along the way, however, the stories around these practices are often lost to time as the tools take centre stage in the narrative.
|
|
|
|
Now, we would like to import, export and lay out conversations between graphic designers, tool developers and those who maintain and propose standards. This two-day session will make space for collective learning, with a specific focus on the relations between individuals, groups and tools working on/with **web-to-print design practices**. Tools that are used in this practices include paged media tools such as CSS, Paged.js, Weasyprint and many more.

|
Concretely, during the Publishing Partyline we would like to dive into the dependency relations that are being formed when working with web-to-print techniques, between designers-and-tools and between tools-and-standards. Over two days we will listen to each other and record stories around these tools, the moments of stress, excitement, discomfort and adventure. We'll do this by using a range of web-to-print workflows that different collectives have been working with throughout the years, including Ethertoff (OSP), pad2print (Luuse) and Octomode (Varia).

|
We will depart on this journey with a **radio series** with practicioners from this field. More information about this will follow soon!

\***Partylines** are two day-long semi-structured collective learning situations. The name is inspired by local loop telephone circuits between neighbours, which made it possible to tune into a collective call. These so called "partylines" quickly became a source of entertainment, a place where gossip is shared, but also where emergencies would be communicated. The convivial and communal function of the historical partylines is what inspired us to organise 5 thematic partylines in the 2022 Varia programme.
