So today our group had a group tutorial with Claire and Lee and we got something to think about a lot when it’s finished.

So I think basically, we need to be very cautious about everything we decide to execute since it all has meanings and implications. Also, it’s important to questions a lot on what is already happening there and where we might want to move forward in a way that is constructive and not disruptive to it.

It turned out we might want to go back to the box-shaped Zine instead of the puppet-shaped one with individual pages hung from it since it might be a little bit too distracted from the theme of Surveillance. Also, in my own interpretation, the tutors shared much about how should we ‘design the experience’ of taking in information of the Zine like how orders also affect the meaning of everything.

There was also a mention about our Manifesto fabric material whether it serves well with what we were trying to say. It reminded us to think more about the ‘audiences’ of the Manifesto, on who is the receiver? how would he/she be distributed the message? how should they be dealt with? kept? disposed? everything matters. Like above picture shown, I prefer the one on the right in terms of it aligns more with the concept of invisibility of Surveillance.

In going back to using a box for our zine publication, we prefer it for following reasons,

• It implies free order in receiving information inside the box which resonates well with our individual works that tells different opinions towards Surveillance.
• We believe the form catches more attention than typical book-liked format. Which for me feels like it goes well with our aim of wanting the audiences to become ‘aware’ of the topic.
• We thought that the box could be distributed by any means possible.
