Excellent, that's something I could start on right now to counteract my screen burnout from work. Now all I need is a not-sketchy way to get physical addresses from folks on HN.
- RileyJames 5y agoThere was a service posted here a few days ago, but I can’t find them now. I think the gist was, “get things delivered to you without giving away your address”. Which was effectively mail forwarding. Maybe someone else remembers it.
- Finnucane 5y agoSomeone needs to reboot Factsheet 5.
- pkdpic 5y agoYes! Wondering what it would look like if a similar project were tweaked to be more scalable. Or maybe that would ruin the point?
- potta_coffee 5y agoSend me a zine and I'll send you some of mine. I'll set up a throwaway email if you're interested in communicating.
- pkdpic 5y agoI'm 100% down, I'd love the excuse to finish up some zine stuff I've been messing around with!
- potta_coffee 5y agoDo you have an email address I can send a message to?
- Finnucane 5y agoA few years ago I read an article about some students at Harvard doing research in Houghton's zine collection as a kind of historical research. I could weep. Maybe it is time for a resurgence of zine culture.
- pkdpic 5y agoIt definitely seems like they're increasingly pertinent on multiple levels. The zine events I was going to before Covid hit we're feeling super vibrant, but there's a weird domination of blue-chip gallery art-book / zine fests that shut a lot of people out, are super expensive to attend or participate in and really don't feel very democratic or open at all in my limited experience.
- cpach 5y agoYeah why not? I did a one-shot zine in senior high and it was loads of fun. Zines could still prove relevant as an offline alternative in today’s hyperconnected world.
- longtimelistnr 5y agoZine culture has already made its resurgence !
- pkdpic 5y agoAny direction you can point to here to connect with some part of the resurgence? Zinefests are my only inroad and a lot of them are pretty exclusionary these days in my experience...
- longtimelistnr 5y agoIm younger than most of the crowd on here but I find them in my social media circles mostly from independent artists/bands/fashion mutuals. Next time I run across an interesting one if I remember I'll link it.
