From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki
the archival oceans zine came in three editions, one for each role, with the cover indicating through color and text what edition it was
The three role specific zines!

The Archival Oceans zine is a publication made by Anita and Thijs in response to The Hitchhiker's Guide to an Active Archive Radio Show they had worked on prior. There are three editions: one for each role from the radio show (Protocoller, Performer and Navigator). Like the show, this publication aims to build on a tradition of choose your own adventure adventures with a twist. By having each edition present one part of a script, the 'your' in 'choose your own adventure' is made plural. This way, the zine (like the show) invites a collaborative performance.

It was created during the first trimester of 2023-2024, in which XPUB1 focussed on Special Issue 22: Radio Worm: Protocols for an Active Archive. The zine touches on the language of archiving, the communication surrounding it and the chaotically human experience that drives it all.
