Call for Zines for the Oki Wonder Library - And some tips on how to make/archive them

Nice all get togethet :relaxed::relaxed::relaxed:

Oops!

I just realize… I’ve forgotten “BioMonstration” (French version), Free Art License 1.3, published in “Solidary Presence / Pænser Ensemble / Daring Together — Radical Care”. printed Books & pdf.
Ongoing english version here (if you would like to help me)

Hey All,

What’s up and new around Zines collection and production?

I am working (on some spare times) on Zines propaganda. Building a Pocket Wifi portal named “Wifi Libre Biohacking Zines” into ESP8266 NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)

So I will spread zines, thx to Hackteria Folks and wiki https://www.hackteria.org/wiki/Zines.

I will share as soon as possible my set-up and source code (public domain : AGLP ; and Free Art License).

As it’s a 4MB storage, you’ll have to make light zines.

As it’s a local pocket wifi, it’s also a pretext to incite meetings / tap on the shoulder and have a drink.

To make propaganda in social movements and demonstrations.

So on and so forth

Any advice welcome <3

What a ride… “give cookies to the archivists”

While collecting some zines from my harddisc (to go to print shop) and other links and pages from earlier session, i started to make a new library online, playing around with my antigravity and ai agents. learning how to automate extraction and building a database of a current a but random collection of zines.

Turned out nice for a first prototype… we can throw a new .pdf into a folder, and it will extract the text, put the file on our cloud in a category folder, if needed do some vision analysis of the image heavy zines. and tries to extract relevant info, such as author, title etc…

We are planning a moderated discussion on knowledge sharing, and the roles of zines in this fast ai driven times, … sometimes in the next 2 weeks.

Any inputs welcome!

after printing and geeking with zines online, I went back to paper and scissors, and tried to reproduce that layout for the “Slot-and-Tab” folding method, that can be done one single sided paper and without staples, turning an A4 sheet with 4 pages on it, into an A6 booklet.

Just upload a pdf, single page order for read on the screen… and the tool will layout and impose all pages in the right position and orientation.
