Wouldn't it be great to link any object directly to a 'video memory' or an article of text describing its history or background? Tales of Things allows just that with a quick and easy way to link any media to any object via small printable tags known as QR codes. How about tagging a building, your old antique clock or perhaps that object you're about to put on eBay?
The British periodical comic book industry has almost disappeared. Is this physical copy of 2000AD a surviving specimen of an endangered species? How can digitisation and digital preservation help save comics from oblivion?
My PhD research is about the role of materiality of comic book textuality in the digital age. It's necessary to create awareness of the cultural importance of comic books in any format, either analogue, digital or hybrid.
