Sonic Acts Academy 2016 Zine

Published on the occasion of the inaugural Sonic Acts Academy, this zine-style publication highlights artistic practices as vital to understanding the complexities of our contemporary world. The wide range of works challenge the sterile forms of knowledge presentations by celebrating the histories, textures, and patterns of hands-on and intuitive working methods. The strong visual character of the zine grounds the texts, essays, and manifestos firmly into the visual and avoids re-framing artistic research practices within a scientific vernacular or methodology. With an experimental typographical approach and stripped of traditional formalities, the zine offers a loud, deconstructed experience of artistic research strategies and processes.
