<p class='about'>

XPPL is a project aimed at people who are studying the field of media culture, or as we like to call them: knowledge comrades.

This digital library gathers all the books and articles floating around on the shelves of the Piet Zwart Institute, and our hard drives and memory sticks, so that they can be shared, annotated and grouped together into stacks...
|
|
<br>
|

<br>
|
|
Its web interface hosts a curated catalogue of books and articles, and its distributed architecture provides instances for uploading and downloading.

It starts at XPUB, but can go anywhere we want it to.</p>

<h2> What's the deal with the stacks? </h2>
|
|
<p class='about'>
|
|
A stack is a number of books that are read at a certain point in time, alternating between them. They usually have a topic in common, or follow a certain study path that can bring you to a point of knowledge. Rather than a bookshelf, where books are lined up and often forgotten, the stack on your table/nightstand/toilet consists of books prone to be opened and reopened at any time.
