01 Hypertextuality
Edito
For its first issue, Pli is going to examine the notion of hypertextuality, a concept originally coming from literature, consisting of the “hyper” prefix that means “higher than normal”, and “textuality” which inexorably brings us back to the written text. Their association becomes interesting in that it commits to exceeding the linearity of the latter, it encourages to explore more and more. Developed by Gérard Genette in his book Palimpsestes. La littérature au second degré (1982), hypertextuality is one of five possible forms of transtextuality, that literary critics define as the “relationship uniting a text B (hypertext) to a previous text A (hypotext) on which it transplants itself in a way that differs from a simple commentary.” Talking about hypertext is also talking about our relationship to information via the Web. Without confronting, print and digital complement and accept each other. The digital navigation is positive in the sense that - especially through the words highlighted in blue #0000FF1 – it helps deepen increasingly, leave adrift, explore unexpected lands … in a sort of race to the informative essence. Where magazines or printed books, despite their undeniable physical values, are finished objects. This is undoubtedly one of the fundamental differences between the two media.

Description de la revue
Bring together, to proceed, to travel, to create the city, to dynamize… What causes hypertextuality appears in this first issue of Pli through the game of contributors. Sometimes through the form of the articles, sometimes through their content, often both simultaneously. All at once vast and yet circumscribed to the relationship between architecture and publishing, this theme allows us to go elsewhere and to be curious about related disciplines. In the following pages and articles, you will find some answers, research, position statements, lighter thoughts on important issues, fictions and creations designed especially for Pli. All of them will allow you to go further, for some through literary references or detailed bibliographies, for others by references to a digital interface or to other projects. Pli, as an object of edition, a space of liberty freed from constraints, overcomes the barriers that architecture and architects have incessantly wanted to break.

Pli × Cuarto from 15th to October 18, 2015
Atelier Méraki : 14–16 rue Neuve Popincourt, 75011 Paris Learn moreDescription
The event gathered different kind of people working into architectural and publishing fields (readers, authors, publishers, graphic designers, publication creators). One of the goals of the event was to generate discussions around those two fields. Both publications, Pli and Cuarto, have proposed to unfold their own content in 3D space and show it off on the wall of the Atelier Meraki. The idea was to extend and improve the writing works by modifying the point of view thanks to an exhibition, some workshops, and art performances. The exhibition was showing the works of Nicolas Deshais-Fernandez and Anthony Rojo, Karolina Samborska, Julia Tournaire and Marie Charlotte Dalin, Matthieu Blond, Thomas Roger, La Maréchalerie, centre d’art contemporain, Melody Leblond, Camille Célestin, Ruohong Wu, Delphine Dussoubs, Gabrielle Renault and Pierre-Alexandre Carrière.
