The Interactive Narratives Studio at vnLab has in recent years explored the book not as a means of binding or framing content, but as a medium. It has focused on the book as a mode of presentation, asking itself not so much about the process of creating content and making it public, but more importantly about the reading experience, as well as the carbon footprint and sustainability of such publications. On the technology side, in recent years the web environment has seen a return to the static page model, not only for the speed of access and greater security, but also for the much smaller carbon footprint and lower maintenance costs. The goal of this module will be to discuss the current state of the digital publishing field, the challenges of open access, data sharing and archiving, and the potential of the solution being developed at vnLab in the outlined field.
