Spark(l)ing Curiosities'·*:.。. .。.:*·゜ﾟ·* : Through Intimate Publishing 。. .。

A thought shared through an interconnected bundle of head-phones; an unexpected letter you find in your pocket; a story whispered to you through a baguette... These 'minor' publishing acts evoke one common quality: an intimate feeling. Now, place the word 'intimate' before 'publishing'. You may notice some tension emerging between these two terms.

Spark(I)ing Curiosities: Through Intimate Publishing shares how I came to the concept of 'intimate publishing'. Through case studies, it explores the subtle nuances that intimacy could bring to the act of making things public. This publication itself is one such example. By taking the format of a calendar, it attempts to tiptoe into your personal space. You may build a relationship over time, once a month when turning the page. Or maybe the moment you read this description, the lifespan of the calendar may have passed. But, I hope the ideas of intimate publishing keep spark(l)ing curiosities.
