Boon Design is proud to announce a new publishing imprint, named Extracurricular. We plan to publish work by artists and makers we admire and collaborate with. The name comes from our creative activities that exist outside of our design practice.

LX(RMX) Lisbon Remixed
LX(RMX) is a new project commissioned by disquiet and a sonic companion to Jorge Colombo’s 2009 exhibition entitled Lisbon Revisited. LX(RMX) offers the sounds of the city reconstructed by 8 (or 16?) musicians inspired by Álvaro de Campos, a heteronym of Fernando Pessoa. Boon created a 16-page digital booklet for the compilation, including images from the exhibit that inspired this project—available for free download from archive.org. The cover is in fact a remix of Colombo’s photography.
INSTAGR/AM/BIENT
Instagram has become one of my daily rituals, a way of sharing moments with friends and documenting my obsessions: typography, food, architecture. The immediacy and restrictions are part of Instagram’s inherent charm. I was thrilled when Marc Weidenbaum of disquiet.com, a frequent collaborator of mine (see Another Time, Another Way) invited me to create a visual accompaniment to his recently commissioned compilation entitled INSTAGR/AM/BIENT.
Paolo Salvagione Autumn Projects
If you missed Paolo Salvagione’s tour de force open studio installation in 2010 at Headlands Center for the Arts, you can see new work and a version of his installation, Missing Window, this Friday, 4 November at Aggregate Space, in West Oakland. The opening is from 5–8pm (part of Oakland’s Art Murmur). Aggregate Space is located at 801 West Grand Avenue (Entrance on West Street). Show announcement is below. Salvagione will be debuting a new edition, entitled Blackwork — and as with other pieces, we have made an A5 card especially for the edition, with an essay from our friend Marc Weidenbaum at disquiet.
Quantified Self
Quantified Self is a collaboration of users and tool makers across the globe who share an interest in self knowledge through self-tracking. Boon created a new identity system launched on 28 May, 2011 for for the first QS Conference held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
Another time, another way
Marc Weidenbaum of disquiet.com invited us to collaborate with him on a Hanukkah remix compilation for Tablet Magazine.
