monotonepress is a website and an exhibition.
A site or, more precisely a platform for online publishing, monotonepress.net , you can download, print, or transfer all files; an exhibition in which works are available directly from files on http://www. monotonepress.net . Both sides of the mode of distribution, circulation and presentation of art, two versions of the "object-art" that induce a series of questions about its design, its modes of appropriation, its value, its price and its status in the digital age.
For Eric Watier, which we owe this event bi-polar "The uncontrolled spread has a place: the Internet. It offers digital, not so much a new form of images or sounds, an extraordinary ability to move objects. Scanning an object is not something trivial, it is a radical change of status: single object, it becomes pure availability. This facility is challenging copyright. It is very clear today how free download or free Linux operating system again raise the issue of intellectual property and its exploitation, commercial or not. "(...)
" But if the digital does not serve to change the means of conveyance and property relations arising therefrom, then it is useless. "
" We absolutely have to imagine a new economy where the objects are both fully available and where, at the same time, they can be a materialization always singular yet still unlimited. This economy of abundance is immaterial inappropriable the same time saving successive appropriations, but never exclusive.
It seems to me necessary to make things perfectly clear, to create a structure of content delivery, where anyone could pick what make specific objects that may be of interest: books, posters, cards, all kind of printed objects. This structure is monotone press. *
Eric Watier is the author of numerous books, including The inventory destruction (Editions Uncertain Meaning, Rennes, 2000) and BLOCK (Zedel, Brest, 2006). It also exposes
