The death of the author
A catalog made during the workshop with Thomas Castro (LUST)
For today non-format publishing world my idea was to deny individuality and to rethink author function again.
The name I borrowed from french philosopher Roland Barthes essay "The dead of the author". Today it has another meaning, where everybody can collectively participate in projects like wikipedia, kickstarted, linux and ther open-source platforms.
I collected all the data from the whole workshop, and created an alphabetic order. I also included a robot-generated poem from all collected sourse, which is funny to read with 3 mixed languages.
