meson press is a cooperative that publishes experimental, innovative, multi-format open access books on digital cultures and networked. Its publications challenge contemporary theories and advance key debates in the humanities of today. meson press grew out of the Hybrid Publishing Lab. Members of the CDC are involved in two of meson press’ book series:

• Digital Cultures: Edited by members of the CDC, the aim of the book series Digital Cultures is to think through the relationship of routines, information flows, communication acts and spaces of action with digital technologies. more
• In Search of Media: What are the terms under which media is produced, and how does media impact and change these terms? By pairing up scholars from North America and Europe, this series advances media theory by obviating the gap that exists across language barriers in order to rethink and re-imagine what media can and must do. more

The book series is edited by the Post-Media Lab and published by OpenMute Press. By drawing upon Félix Guattari’s concept of ‘collective assemblages of enunciation’, it explores the potential of post-media practices, which unfold in diverse ways across the ubiquity of media today. All books are Open Access and free to download. View book series

The web publication “Experiments&Interventions”, initiated by Martina Leeker, documents and analyzes projects with aesthetics means as research for new forms of digital critique. In “Experiments” research of digital cultures is performed with exaggeration in order to test its consequences and to reflect on them. “Interventions” provide performative and aesthetics formats for speculation on alternative ways of thinking and building digital cultures. more
