Since Monday we were given a brief about our next assignment as a group which is to record a Podcast together discussing our concept and production of our Manifesto Zine, which is a publication that would gather all our individual works or responses towards Surveillance.

Today we did also rehearse our Podcast discussion together as well to prepare for the filming on Thursday. We tried to also expand the theme of Surveillance into the format of the discussion itself for example we chose to have two hosts leading the discussion whose characters are quite commanding or how we would finish the film with a disturbing alarming sound to simulate being hunted down my thought polices.

As for the Zine, our team member, Wooli, came up with an idea of putting our works together in a box representing a gift box. I think it’s pretty exciting in terms of breaking the convention of how the format of a zine should be. Below is her own design pattern of a box that isn’t formed yet. How nice!

As for myself, I’m thinking of maybe using a QR code to represent the digital communication (actually, I believe it’s Wooli also inspired me about QR, thanks again!) in folding papers in possibly a shape of a window. And link the code to the animation uploaded on the cloud. Let’s see how it would turn out.

There are also some other references I explored for the format of my individual pages to be put inside the box shown here. And also, the theme of my chapter would be ‘gratefulness’ let remind myself that as well.
