[spectre] Collaborative Futures book sprint - 2nd edition underway today!

[stephen kovats]

Dear Spectrites,

the 2nd edition of the Collaborative Futures book sprint is now on!  
The project, initiated at transmediale.10 in Berlin and led by Floss  
Manual's Adam Hyde, is currently being hosted by Eyebeam.org in New  
York, where the next book in the series will be produced at the end  
of the day today, Friday, June 25th.

The original authors together with three new people are in lock-down  
in Berlin and New York to produce the second edition of the same book.

They will be joined by additional guests and contributors who will  
drop in or contribute remotely on the Booki.cc website.

* They meet every morning at 9:30am and will write until the sun or  
their minds set (the later of the two).
* They will use the Booki.cc online software to write, edit and  
collaborate.
* They will edit the existing work, possibly even replacing full  
chapters.
* They will write new chapters to extend, complement and possibly  
contradict the existing ones.
* They will eat and drink in the space and will have dinners together  
on the three days.
* They will argue and fight against each other and against the  
paradigms of this collaborative effort and its tendency to subsume  
our conflicting voices.
