*Proofs and Failures*

How do poetics function in today’s structure of the digital, of the art
world, of publications seen as ephemeral or even marginal, within
institutions, within the deeply personal sphere, and within the nexus of
public connectivity? How do we distinguish between the signal and the
noise, between ambiguity and double meaning; how does language reveal
itself to have a consciousness and how do we present an architecture or
object to translate that about-ness into an actual-ness?

Publication Studio, founded in 2009 in Portland, Oregon, makes and
publishes original books on-demand, creating a public out of publication by
engaging the social life of the book for pleasure alone.

Patricia No is a writer, editor, and publisher living in Portland, Oregon.
She co-founded Publication Studio and founded and edits the literary
journal *Weekday*.

Antonia Pinter is an artist and publisher working in Portland, Oregon. Her
forthcoming artist book, *Light Levels*, will be launched in Glasgow,
Scotland in May, 2015.
