GitPub is a collaborative web to print tool. It is based on the git version control software, commonly used by programmers to collectively work on and publish code files. GitPub taps into the social dynamics of git: asynchronous, diverging, yet structured workflows where conflict and merging require shared responsibility and decision making. Git captures and coordinates these processes through metadata.
Using GitPub allows to modify and version shared text files, which, together with the files metadata, can be previewed and printed as a pdf, that renders not only content but collective dynamics visible. GitPub creates a collaborative publication making environment that bridges between git culture and artistic practices.
Kim Kleinert works between programming, graphic design and artistic research. She is interested in subversive forms of publishing and their on and offline infrastructures.
