Comments on: Patent Office: The Thing That Knows Itself! http://801a.info/blog/archives/280 House Rag from Dumbo Garret Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:01:22 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: sam http://801a.info/blog/archives/280/comment-page-1#comment-125 sam Sun, 16 Dec 2007 20:43:46 +0000 http://801a.info/blog/archives/280#comment-125 Laboritorium was an exhaustive project where a bunch of artists and designers documented the process of designing the book from start to finish, which then became the book itself. There are photos of people working on the book in their studios and all the emails and correspondence are included too. It's quite a massive tome if I remember correctly. I think a mashup magazine would steal content from a lot of other books / magazines. It could play around with different methods of reproduction whether it be a photograph of another layout, a photocopy or simply redrawn by hand. Different designers could steal or change each others content as well. Basically ignoring any sort of copy write restrictions. I think the whole creative commons thing could play a part too.

How would the mashup magazine function? Would the texts be spliced together? Based on theme, or on use of language?
