The NODE.London Reader projects a critical context around the Season of Media Arts in London March 2006 and provides another discursive dimension to the events of October 2005's Open Season. It engages debates in FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software), media arts and activism, collaborative practices and the political economy of cultural production in the present day. It includes essays and artist projects from Sabeth Buchmann, Toni Prug, Armin Medosch, Simon Yuill, Chad McCail, Critical Art Ensemble, Jo Walsh, Richard Barbrook, Michael Corris, Harwood, Kate Rich, Agnese Trocchi, Matthew Fuller, Rasmus Fleischer and Palle Torsson, Brett Neilson and Ned Rossiter, Matteo Pasquinelli and Francis McKee.

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Lungomare is publishing the volume AS IF - 16 Dialogues about Sheep, Black Holes, and Movement. Starting from dialogue as a form of relationship that Lungomare has adopted over its 20 years of artistic and cultural activity, and in order to approach themes, people and places, whilst always pushing a little beyond its own boundaries and horizons, the book weaves together 51 voices of people invited to express their own vision for renegotiating the future. These are international authors who have collaborated with Lungomare over the past 20 years, and who have in turn invited many others, in order to open the discourse to multiple voices.
