Ever since ink turned into toner and pixel, printed paper has been  
struggling to survive as a medium. Yet, stubborn independent editors  
are still producing the most endangered species of paper products: the  
independent magazine. By endlessly reinventing content, technical and  
economical strategies these magazines are testimony to the distinct  
qualities of printed publications, such as periodicity, the touch of  
paper and the smell of copy. Yet , it is precisely the love for the  
speed of electrons, and an understanding of the potentials of networked  
media, that have inspired the cultural tactics of these magazines; from  
print-on-demand, collaborative editing, to sharing content and  
knowledge. Here collaboration is better than competition.

 De Balie presents an evening about the survival strategies of critical  
independent magazines focusing on digital culture, but with a love for  
- and insistence on - print.

 With the participation of Alessandro Ludovico (editor-in-chief Neural  
and co-founder of the Mag.Net -Electronic Cultural Publishers), Simon  
Worthington (co-founder Mute Magazine, co-founder Mag.Net), , Georg  
Schoellhammer (director Documenta 12 Magazines and editor-in-chief and  
co-founder of Springerin, co-founder Mag.Net), Arie Altena (media  
theorist, writer, lecturer and researcher at Jan van Eyck Academy).
Moderation: Nat Muller (De Balie)
