amsterdam, july 2O25
as we prepare for our summer break and plan the forthcoming period of the Institute of Network Cultures here in Amsterdam, we'd like to share some of our recent projects and publications with our mailing list. As you may have already heard, in one year INC will be decoupling from the Hogeschool van Amsterdam HvA, continuing independently after July 2026. For the sake of convenience, we've labeled the post transition organization INC 2.0. There's a lot of [exciting] challenges which we'll be tackling in light of this transition. we'll be finishing up current series and starting new ones, developing new formats, events, networks and collaborations.
We'll also be working on archiving 22 years of the INC website. And in the coming months we'll produce the last INC Reader and the last title of the Theory on Demand series.
We're looking forward to new beginnings, and will be focusing on hybrid and IRL collaborations and events. And we're hoping to have established a new physical space and office around mid 2026. Either way, in typical INC fashion, we'll celebrate this transition with a two day event [including a party, of course] that will take place in late-June, 2026. We hope to see everyone there and keep you posted.
If you have any comments, questions, proposals, ideas, or suggestions on how you want to be involved, feel free to reach out to us at info@networkcultures.org.
Now that the dust has settled from the fourth edition of the INC Expanded Publishing Fest on June 20, and we'd like to invite everyone to check out the Expanded Publishing reader and the event report. The final book was entirely developed and printed using Etherport and is available to order and read here
