Abstract

Keywords: post-digital, publishing, artist book, e-publishing, e-books, hybrid publishing

The influence of digital on publishing has reached a preponderant level, questioning the very core of the practice. But more than speeding up a much touted “definitive transition” from traditional to fully digital publishing (still to be accomplished on mass) there are various practices which are pervading the timeless stoicism of the printed page with calculated processes, transforming it into something new. This had lead to the creation of “hybrids” which can be considered as new types of publications with the potential for having both physical and digital qualities, and which are helping to pave the way towards more complex transitions.
