Presentation of R&D a low-end rich media publication by Roel Roscam Abbing.
Sunday 23rd Oct, 15:15 - 15:45


Part showcase, part recipe book, this publication is a blog-like overview of works by artists Dennis de Bel and Roel Roscam Abbing. In the almost 200 pages of R&D: a low-end rich media publication their prototypes, try-outs and designs, which they created during a two year collaboration, make a playful case to rethink and reconsider media and communications technologies. Among its pages you can find designs for DIY smartphones, a guide on making internet connections via a walkie-talkie and experiments in feline filesharing. As they favor the obsolete and the inefficient, the book comes with a complimentary optical disk featuring inclusive bonus material such as the source code, electronics schematics and a digital edition of the publication.
