    BiblioTech explores the changing role of the library, reading, writing, and publishing in a post-digital age. The title suggests the latin term for library, ''bibliotheca'', and also alludes to how the library and book culture has become increasingly technologised. Across two exhibitions and symposia events in Spring 2022 Torque Editions explored these issues with a range of international artists, thinkers, and library professionals. Through the works in this book, we show how libraries have become hybridised with other environments: from museums and schools, to bedrooms, computer networks, labs and forests, opening up new conceptual space for the future of books; of how and where they are written and read. The book includes a combination of essays, artist pages, and hybrid image-text works relating the library to ways of knowledge formation; the situation for publishing, reading and writing in the context of new technologies; and the library as a hybrid public space for learning, community and counter-cultural action. An extended introduction by the editors includes a survey of contemporary art''s propositions for library futures, and ways that new technology is changing how books are made and circulate today. Contributors: Joana Chicau, Johanna Drucker, Gary Hall, Mel Jordan, Esther Leslie, Edgar Schmitz, Emily Segal, Anna Barham, Jonathan Basile, Jo Devlin, David Gauthier, Rosa Menkman, Katie Patterson, Post-Digital Publishing Archive (Silvio Lorusso), Tom Schofield, Erica Scourti, Jenna Sutela, Sumuyya Khader.

    Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) offer unique tools for translocal peers to encode rules, relations and values into their joint ventures using blockchain technology. This new book, edited by Ruth Catlow and Penny Rafferty, who have been at the forefront of investigations into the relationship between DAOs and the arts, constitutes over 5 years of research with essays, interviews, exercises and prototypes from leading thinkers, artists and technologists across this emerging field. In recent years DAOs have been heralded as a powerful stimulus for experimentation to reshape new cultural value systems for interdependence, cooperation, and care. At a time when the mainstream artworld is focused on NFTs, this book refocuses attention toward DAOs as potentially the most radical blockchain technology for the arts, in the long term. Contributors engage with both past and emergent methodologies for building resilient and mutable systems for scale-free mutual aid. Collectively, the
