In the 10th issue of Seoul/Amsterdam, riso-printed magazine umool umool, a group of people assuming various positions were invited to describe their collaborative processes. The exact amount of people is unknown, as contributors likely played multiple roles themselves, or involved other guests in the process. The focus of this issue therefore rests on the methods of a a multi-individual process, in particular the simultaneous improvisation occurring due to long-distance communication among several people, revealing experiences, anecdotes, negotiations, decisions and so on. Contributors include Yair Barelli, James Langdon, Anu Vahtra, Janna Meeus, Triin Tamm and many others. Thanks to Idea Books (Amsterdam).
