Thanks, UMaine Today!

UMaine Today wrote an wonderful article about us! If you live near the UMaine Orono campus, you should check out the real deal because they gave us a lovely two-page spread, and it’s all big and glossy and beautiful. But if you don’t live near there, check it out online!

There’s also a really nice gallery of photos by Jess.

You know what? Getting good press is really energizing. Since the article came out I’ve felt a lot more inspired to create newer & cooler things. So, big thanks to Jessica Andresen, Margaret Nagle, Peter Buehner and anyone else who may have had a hand in making this happen!

Callithump! Goes Back to School

Callithump! has returned to its old home in Lord Hall, just in time for fall classes.
Callithump! has returned to its old home in Lord Hall, just in time for fall classes.

After an unintentional hiatus, Callithump! has returned to its roots, outside the art gallery in Lord Hall at the University of Maine in Orono. It’s good to be back!

Sorry about the wretched pic. The only camera I had with me was in my cell phone. It looks totally bleak and depressing there. It’s too bad because this is the debut of Jess’ lovely new cover art! Go check it out in person and see for yourself!

We’ve got exciting plans for the Orono machine, including the return of Just Buttons!

Station Identification

For those of you just arriving:

Callithump is a non-profit organization devoted to exploring the future of physical publishing in the Internet world. Physical publishing is more commonly known as print publishing. However, we feel that “print” is to narrow a definition to contain the myriad possibilities the future holds. Already, publications are taking new forms, such as cans, t-shirts, and flying discs. This is just the start!

Callithump! is Callithump’s own publishing venture. It’s an artistic & literary magazine that has been vended through toy capsule vending machines since 2006. You can find out more about it here.

Callithump would love your help!

We’re looking for creative talent to help keep our machines filled. Do you have a creative idea that would fit in a 2″ capsule that could be reproduced many times over? Let us know!

Are you now, or have you ever been, engaged in an art vending venture? Or have you spotted one on the street? We’re building a history of vending machine art, and would love to add your story to it.

Do you have a publication that pushes the definitions of what publishing means? Let us know about it and we’ll tell everyone!

Callithump! is about exploring, finding new possibilities and rediscovering old ones. We’d love to hear your ideas!
