“The newspaper vanishes when the wind blows. All that remains is the act of literation; the book.”
Abbas Maroufi
(1957-2022)
We saw the zine as a physical bi-weekly episteme of Studio Jacob, and were intrigued by a zine's existence as something more permanent in its physicality than digital media, yet somehow less permanent than a book in its stature.
Zine 2.0 highlights the liminal and dialectic relationship between concepts of temporary and permanent. Providing a platform for potentially forgotten or passing moments of everyday life, we asked the reader to consider whether they view the selected phenomena as more temporary, or more permanent.
The pages are printed on out-of-date posters found around the University of Applied Arts Vienna; remnants of previous events. The pages are ordered differently in every copy, flattening the hierarchy of content chronology.
The zine opens to the central spread, where a mind map is found in every edition, a mind map articulating the dualistic frame in which concepts can be viewed - in some cases permanent, in some cases temporary.
