How Tangible is TEI? Exploring Swatches as a New Academic Publication Format

Published:13 February 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

After the successful organization of the first TEI Swatch Exchange as part of the SDC (Student Design Challenge) in 2021, we would like to propose Swatches as a new and physical publication format to TEI, the Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction. We believe TEI should take initiative in exploring possibilities of broadening how academic publishing can look like, and what novel publication formats could be inclusive towards new knowledges and new participants in order to advance academic practice. The focus and nature of the work presented at TEI is uniquely fitted to explore physical publication formats as a novel way to advance, communicate, and cite work that embeds and embodies computing in the physical world. However, we are aware that a physical publication format also poses very specific challenges, including questions of dissemination, accessibility, and citation, to name a few. We propose a Studio to deeply engage with the possibilities and potentials, as well as potential problems of physical publications. We see such discussion as a crucial first step in defining plausible submission processes, publication forms, and means of archiving of new academic formats.
