Books

Many formulations at noemata are centered around books as a way of
capsulating works that otherwise might seem ephemeral, immaterial,
marginal, contextual, conceptual, having no outside. The notion of a
book is also abstracted to mean merely a set of documents containing its
ISBN number. In that sense they're networked books, net.books, with an
inverted form/content relation, as books turned inside-out. This is made
possible with networked, digital media especially, and is also a
(tauto-)logical consequence of operating with unique book numbers in
ISBN, ie. if a number defines a book then let a number define a book.

The books are also open-ended works with a communal, participatory basis
and released as copyleft if nothing else is stated. They're structured
as mailinglists, blogs, web archives, folders, programs, etc, in
different files and formats. Formats are chosen for readability and easy
access. ASCII text-files are when possible also made compatible with
unix mbox format (mail-format) and can thereby be imported into a mail
client and read as mail. Below is a list of entrance points to some of
the open books at noemata.
