Exploriso was written in German as part of the diploma thesis by Sven Tillack, a former student in the class of Prof. Uli Cluss doing his Communication Design studies at the Institute for Book Design and Media Development at Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design in the summer semester 2017 and has been revised, translated and proofread for the first English edition. Special thanks to basICColor, without whose generous donation of test licenses for their software the creation of ICC profiles for the risograph would not have been possible. Another special thanks to Metapaper GmbH & Co. for providing a generous paper donation as well as RISO Deutschland GmbH for donating colour to print the Exploriso Colour Suite. The biggest thank you goes out to everybody all over the world who contributed text and illustrations as part of the Exploriso Colour Suite, in order of appearance: Tiziana Jill Beck, Blexbolex, It’s Raining Elephants, Maja Behrmann, Ben El Halawany, Hansje Van Halem, Pooroni Rhee, Lea Dohle, Zoran Pungerčar, Christoph Feist, Stefan Marx, Hyojoon Jo, Raby-Florence Fofana, Dr. Alderete, Kati Szilágyi, Patrick Thomas, Craig Proud, Rachel Littlewood, Herr & Frau Rio, Marjolein Schalk, Sigrid Calon, João Doria, Paul John, Christiane Haas, Sina Schindler as well as Erwin Blok for providing the photos of the mimeographs. The author is truly grateful to be part of an amazing community.

“Exploriso: Low-tech Fine Art” appears in the first year of the Discovered series, a cooperation between the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design, the HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg, and the HGB Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, which honours a selection of student projects with the opportunity to publish their work with Spector Books.

Discovered is a competition for editorial projects developed by students at the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design, the HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg, and the HGB Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig. The winning entries will then be supported through the production and editing process by the staff at Spector Books, under the supervision of Professors Uli Cluss, Ludovic Balland, and Ingo Offermanns.
