New issue of Will Stuart’s samizdat mag Tourette (Black Rainbow) will be presented next week, tuesday june 6th at De Appel in Amsterdam, from 19.00h on. Expect fotocopied quality text & image that will tickle & soothe the brain. (Or something like that). — It’s not for sale! (But voluntary donations are of course welcome).

I’d say this is another direction which publishing is taking. No distribution, non-commercial, cheap, but high quality content + excellent choice of material. And sort of operating on the brink of copyright-legislation. (Like old-fashioned xeroxed magazines?)

It’s not directly print-on-demand, on the other hand: I’d be interested to obtain a print-out of material that Will Stuart thinks is interesting… I’d give them a voluntary donation for selection + the effort of printing out. (The re-invention of publishing?) So in that sense it is similar to ‘print-on-demand’.
