The interactive zine is the physical culmination of my visual and written research. The sign is meant to emulate that which would be found in the physical environment, made in ArtCenter’s wood shop with the materials most readily available to me. The content is randomly assembled on the structure and shifts as participants interact with it. Much like the physical world, it is constantly in flux. Viewers can curate their own 16–page booklet based on what speaks to them most.→
