Autonomous Archive/Mood

Concept-Brainstorming

First Brainstorming Session

Concept of Index

#1: Archive of Loss

• publication as memory / documentary
• uncertainty / losing home / losing culture / losing memory

• overlapping texts -> losing/hiding information
• empty pages (e.g. for documents we aren’t allowed to print)
• publication as real object (heavy, hard cover, letterpress, high-print)

#2: Index

• A book containing a index as mainpart
• Reversing role footnote / content

• Maybe two books (one with text only / one pictures only)
  • different printing techniques
• Linking words / how often / meaning / usage

#3: Protest

• How to squat in the 21st century
• design as a political tool
• flowcharts / survivalkit
• analysing existing PG material

• dirty / raw
• small handbook
• b/w
• 90g paper
• stencil
• DIY / copyscanner / riso / printing layered

Book-object

• interactive?
• symbolic for PG?
• multiple objects
• only an index: used words with links, separated from images / interviews ~ connected to our wiki webpage (?)

Printing

(Sustainable Printing)

• B/W printing
  • with one color over-print (silkscreen / riso)
• Risoprinting
