Generative Artzines

[FR] Generative Artzines

Generative Artzines is an extraordinary editorial and graphic object, the final outcome of the research project by artist publisher and researcher Antoine Lefebvre about fanzine culture. With the Objet Papier experimental publishing collective and using accessible tools such as CSS, HTML and Javascript, Antoine is developing an original Web to Print publication, like a new way of thinking about graphic design without the usual hegemonic software. Visitors will interact with a chatbot and answer a few questions devised by the author. The publication will then be printed and bound on site from a single PDF. Finally, everyone will leave with their own copy of the book.

Objet Papier is a micro-press label from Montreuil, France. Since 2016, it published numerous photographies, illustrations, words and digital experimental works. It gives graphic and literacy free hand to artists who are interested in bypassing traditional paper edition. On the contrary of digital standardization, the label questions and discusses the different media, as a non-native generation does.
