Abstract

We present a revolutionary way of publishing results through the peer-reviewed journal .able launched in march 2023. Exploring the full potential of multimedia and multi-platform publishing, .able’s aim is to deliver visual essays to the academic sphere as well as to the general public. Publications analyze elements such as the forms, methods, processes, results, and instruments bring into play in artistic and scientific research.

.able proposes five original layout formats:

scroll.able, content moves up and down as the user scrolls

pan.able, content moves from left to right as the user scrolls

zoom.able, content appears as the user zooms into it

story.able, content appears as a storyboard with optional popup captions

video.able, Multi-format videos

The video format will be illustrated on the artwork: Quantum Dream, the day I imagined the ocean. an immersive installation creating connections between a sleeper's brain waves after three days of voluntary sleep deprivation and a laboratory ocean, in a ring tank. The sleeper's brain activity controls wind tensions at the surface, as if the sleeper's mind were literally moving above the water. The other formats will be explored on examples involving humanities as well as natural sciences all addressing contemporary social issues.
