Clay Tabloids

What is it?
A publishing practice that publishes a clay tablet "newspaper". The distribution of said paper should be performed in a ritualistic manner promoting a speculative, archeological and fringe-scientific narrative.

Why make it? To invite to reflection around media's permanence and media-consumption(social and political mainly(maybe?)), make people responsible for objects that will ideally remain for millennia, as well as inviting to reimagine or speculate around early recorded history.

Workflow Somehow source material for the paper, probably by asking people about what they would like to share with a public 4000 years in the future. Pen plotting (or some other "efficient means" of "mass"-producing such newspaper).

Rapid prototypes

Asking Thijs: With the stone tablets, you already present a kind of 'alternative' history. You could lean into that by misrepresenting our times.
