Open 9.5 - footnotes for Open No. 9

a one time issued counterpoint magazine to the 9th edition of OPEN, a bi-annual art journal focusing on various aspects of the interaction of art, theory, and location in relation to developments in new media, urban planning, landscape architecture and environmental composition. Art and technology philosopher, John Heymans initiated the counterpoint publication project (OPEN 9.5), to produce a supplement for OPEN No. 10. After enlisting a group of Dutch Art Institute (DAI) student/artists, to contribute research and writing to the project, I developed a strong and complex typographic content management system, hinged on the concept of footnoting original text and image material from OPEN 9 which allowed Open 9.5 to reach a level of autonomy beyond mere supplement, resulting in visually engaging yet content appropriate stand alone solution.
