About The Momentary Zine
Hackers & Designers build an open publishing station. At this publishing station everyone is invited to co-create and examine editorial design matters such as cross-media publishing. Using a thermal printer (receipt printer) as a point of departure the visitors were be the subject of the accumulating publication and simultaneously active content providers.
Thermo print has the characteristic of vanishing after a while. With an easy hack of the printer software we capture the temporality and actuality of the event and printed matter as such. The zine content is exclusively accumulated by speaking into a microphone. With text to speech technology the spoken word translates to text. Simultaneously an algorithm is will run an automized image search on google, grabbing some of the words randomly and adding them to the zine.
H&D IS AN INITIATIVE THAT BRINGS TWO PROFESSIONS CLOSER TO EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A COMMON VOCABULARY AND COLLECTIVE CONCEPTS.
