Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] digital journal, blog or tumblr as book
David,
I've also been chasing around, thinking about a genre term for blurb- and lulu-produced books, some of which are reconstituted web content. They're not quite the same as some of the LCSH terms, e.g., Self-publishing, Privately printed books, Vanity presses. The subject authority record for Blogs has a related-term reference from Citizen journalism. The latter term has a historical sound but it's a new record.
This Triple Canopy title caught my eye and my copy is in the mail. Maybe after we've read Invalid format, we'll have a tighter idea of the genre.
Let us know if you come up with a genre term that will allow us to collocate such resources in our catalogs.

I've come across several examples of re-iterations of web content into something that approaches an artist's publication or a little design book - from tumblrs, blogs, electronic journals and into books. Seems like an interesting movement - back and forth between these different media - and seizing on design aspects of each format. Recently met with the editors of Triple Canopy - they presented me with this book that is described below. It's a manifestation of this genre of re-formatting journal content and also an extended discussion of this kind of activity.
one of the more humorous entries into the field is here - http://www.isitartorfart.com/
this blog published a book last year with the same title. It is a collection of photography, collected or taken by the bloggers, that record "coincidental moments in everyday life that, when isolated and named by artist, bear uncanny resemblance to art seen in museums and galleries around the globe."
genre term, anyone?

Triple Canopy is pleased to announce the publication of Invalid Format: An Anthology of Triple Canopy, Volume 1. The book, designed in collaboration with Project Projects, is at once an archive of Triple Canopy's widespread publishing activities and a translation into print of projects that originally appeared in other forms. This inaugural volume of Invalid Format includes artist projects and literary work published in the first year of Triple Canopy's existence, documentation of public programs, and a sampling of foundational correspondence. In form and content, the book explores how works produced for the screen might fully inhabit the page. Consider Invalid Format a new design for reading, the book as content-management system.
Contributors include Lene Berg, Joseph Clarke, Rivka Galchen, Adam Helms, Sheila Heti, Dan Hoy, the International Necronautical Society, Craig Kalpakjian, Jon Kessler, Wayne Koestenbaum, Rachel Mason, Amir Mogharabi, Rachel Owens, Ed Park & Rachel Aviv, the Poetic Research Bureau, John Powers, Emily Richardson & Iain Sinclair, Michael Robinson, and Diane Williams.
About Triple Canopy
Triple Canopy is an online magazine, workspace, and platform for editorial and curatorial activities.

In doing so, Triple Canopy is charting an expanded field of publication, drawing on the history of print culture while acting as a hub for the exploration of emerging forms and the public spaces constituted around them. Triple Canopy is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization.
