Domenico Quaranta, Geraldine Juárez (eds.): The F.A.T. Manual (2013)
Filed under book | Tags: · art, diy, hacker culture, hacking, internet, technology
“In more than five years of activity, the Free Art and Technology Lab (F.A.T. Lab) produced an impressive series of projects, all developed with open source software, shared online and documented in a way that allows everybody to copy, improve, abuse or simply use them. This approach situates F.A.T. Lab in a long tradition of DIY, processual, sharable artistic practices based on instructionals, and reveals a democratic idea of art where Fluxus scores meet hacker culture (and rap music).
Featuring texts by Régine Debatty, Evan Roth, Domenico Quaranta, Geraldine Juárez and Randy Sarafan, The F.A.T. Manual is a selection of more that 100 projects, done in the belief that printing these bits on paper will allow them to spread in a different way, infiltrate other contexts, and germinate. An archive, a catalogue, a user manual and a software handbook documenting five years of thug life, pop culture and research and development.”

Comment (0)Michel Gondry: You’ll Like This Film Because You’re in It: The Be Kind Rewind Protocol (2008)
Filed under book | Tags: · diy, film, participation
Michel Gondry’s debut book is a functional memoir of his quest to put the tools of filmmaking in the hands of as many people as possible. At Deitch Projects in 2008 Gondry emulated the example of his characters, constructing a do-it-yourself film studio in which any visitor could assemble their own film from extant plot summaries and rent the results. This book chronicles Gondry’s journey towards what he calls “The Be Kind Rewind Protocol”.
