INC Readers give an overview of the present day research, critique, and artistic practices in a thematic research field at once broad and limited. The set up is multidisciplinary, with academic (humanities, social sciences, software studies etc.), artistic, and activist contributors. It is the flagship series of the INC, chosen and curated by the INC team itself and mainly centered around existing research networks, such as Moneylab, Video Vortex, Urban Screens, Critical Point of View, Unlike Us, and so on.
Theory on Demand presents an ‘archive of content production’ available in print-on-demand. The series includes reprints of theoretical new media work, for example dissertations or books that have gone out of stock, but also new work that’s unfit for traditional publishers.
Network Notions is a reformatted, A5 continuation of the earlier Network Notebooks series. It contains essays of around 20,000 words by scholars, artists, and activists, similarly discussing the politics and aesthetics of internet culture.
Deep pockets is an irregular series of small booklets containing personal theory.
INC Longform was launched in Spring 2015, wherein talented, up-and-coming authors are invited to publish their work in a digital-first format. We aim to publish stand-alone essays of 3,000-8,000 words, written for the web and making use of digital options. We believe in longform as a genre that first and foremost points to depth of insight based on research – which can include video essays, visual reporting and multimedia.
Network Notebooks present new media research commissioned by the INC, giving researchers and other potential authors the chance to write a lengthy essay one the topic of their interest, as a (preliminary) conclusion of previous research work and/or laying the ground works for a future research project.
Studies in Network Cultures was a series produced in collaboration with nai010 publishers in Rotterdam. The books investigated concepts and practices specific to the shifting environment of network cultures.
