Publishing is the Origin of Digital Objects
-
The web is all about publishing. All the things you once consumed on a screen – every single one – was first published to the web somehow. It’s the origin story of every digital object, that it had to be ‘placed’ by someone on digital space, so that others may cross path with it, for them to enjoy or be utilized for myriad purposes.
Published code, published thought, published song. Think of publishing as unleashing onto the world, releasing into the wild. Think of publishing as a blossoming, as a coming into being. The wedding is published commitment. Dance is published interpretation. The hug and kiss are published affection, just like the smile.
We publish in search of acknowledgment, communion. Publishing as origin of life, birth of story – of all aspect, not only digital.
