Zine

We wanted to create a buzz around ‘Rubix’ as a collective, to try and get people more than just interested, but EXCITED. We had already created business cards, a blog and posters, centred around ‘Rubix’ but we needed something to represent the concept of the project and also to reflect the tone of ‘Rubix’ as a group. An effective way to collate research, process and group comraderie was through a handmade ‘fanzine.’ Then text used in the zine comes from parts of the blog, comments made in group sessions, a game of chinese whispers, and from general warm- up excercises throughout the project. Each member of the group appears by name. There is not a separate section for each person, everyone’s contribution exists in harmony with eachother. Our emphasis is on the group not the individual.We chose this handmade format as we felt the tactile nature of the zine and the photocopier publishing emphasised the way the work had been generated throughout.
