Notes from Casey & Center of Editions 3/24
Website as a series of activities: the center is alive! The site should have a permanence to it.
Workshop, Publications, PS.1, Visiting Artist Lectures, etc.
How will this function in line with the print-making department?
Look at what we already have and make it more contemporary
WHAT IS INTERESTING = WHAT HAS BEEN DONE - HISTORY
What is not interesting = straightforward master-student products
ATELIER PROJECT - highlight in terms of collaboration
COD has published several artists books
Took a hiatus when artist books became supported by technology
Not exclusive to print -defined by artistsâ booksÂ
INTERACTIVITY - moving thorough times and space (idea of a book) - what could have been - answer this virtually
Validated success in print
OVERARCHING: RENEW THE CENTER - if we build it, they will come
To be equivalent to the concept of a business card - doesnât have to be content rich
Double interest in books and collaboration led to PS1 booth
A highly visual web presence / home for the center
NEEDS TO CONNECT THE CENTER TO COLLEGE BUT SHOW THAT IT IS ALSO INDEPENDENT
COD: Visual think-tank / experimental print production
Letter press room, offset space
Importance of history expressed in nostalgic light - yet forward thinking. Lets do it again....
Old equipment still in tact - excitement surrounding what is dated.
DYNAMIC VISUAL IDENTITY - showcase aspect for the next Printed Mater Book Fair
First Announcement: Presence at PS1 - we know this will be happening
Site to be representative of prints and bookmaking - stimulate this through the screen
Breaking things up in dynamic / visually interesting manner
Edit practicality of type
Keeping content light - figuring out what this is
User experience should be experimentalÂ
Navigation to stay in place?
Push toward MIT media lab (INSPIRATION) - having elements interact and change color - can be dragged and moved around so that the user can play with the site
Balancing content with element of fluxÂ
Events or Highlighted Projects?
Managing events calendar - not split up month by month but rather ...?
How can we emphasize existing identity that isnât locked in to the idea of a poster? - ex. a poster that looks rad but can flip over or fold-out to be more multi-faceted
Events and Donate should FALL BACK in terms of hierarchy
Separating content in denotative way
