In our adventure into the realm of independent publishing we continue to use the internet. For Stereo #3 we created the first Stereo Online Sketchbook (SOS). This was created so Stereo participants could get together online and uploaded sketches and ideas to their virtual page. Visitors of the SOS could see this development.
One unexpected thing happened, Stereo-participants started reacting on artwork they saw on pages by other participants. This led to even more cross-references between all the work that was made around the given theme (in this case: La Revolution c'est Chic). Thus in an indirect way, more collaborations came to be. Which is what we are about. Mostly.
We have taken this accidental idea a bit further with a new SOS, that has been developed to create Stereo#5. This time we did not hook up people together in advance, but we asked them to work individually with the theme; Non Stop (Time). All the work that is made by the participants was to be put online on the Sketchbook, and the others could download and react to it right away. It is quite a shift from the way we worked before. We boldly go ... well, please have a look at:

Also I would like to state here that Stereo is in unmeasurable debt to Nick Koning for the programming and help in development of these applications. Thanks.
