Technologies of romance - part II book launch
Listen back to the book launch of eeodo artists publishers second edition of Technologies of Romance - Part II by artist and writer Paul O'Kane.
The evening featured a discussion and Q&A with all those involved in making the new publication: writer Paul O’Kane, artist DJ Roshni Bhagotra, distributor Bryony Lloyd, editor Bada Song, illustrator John Whapham, typographer, designer Catherine Dixon, printer Tony Yard, and Eleanor Vonne Brown, designer, maker, retailer and all round supporter of artists’ books.
The discussion was guided by the proposition: ‘The book as a romantic technology’, and is punctuated with clips from a list of the popular songs mentioned in the book.
eeodo is a fledgling, non-profit maker and publisher of artist’s books. While supporting invention and speculation they are committed to developing a broad audience and promoting the idea that art, while innovative and esoteric, is also an everyday human exchange.
Paul O’Kane is an artist and writer who lectures in histories and theories of art and culture at CSM (UAL) and at SOAS. His long-running seminar ‘Technologies of Romance’ (and recent books of the same name) encourage the reader to contextualise ‘new’ technologies in accordance with an unbroken history of technologies and their significant influence on the development of art
