If you had to make a publication in one hour, what would it be about and how would it go out into the world?

Elie Andersen

Co-founder of Index Space

It would be a “Workshop on Workshops,” a score for how to design the conditions for compelling relational interactions that produce specific creative outcomes. I’d share it on Index Resources!

Jane Seidel

Head of Audience & Analytics at Rest of World

I’d make a mini-zine called A Beginner’s Guide to Women’s Sports for people who don’t think they’re sports fans, then leave copies on subway cars or BART trains for bored commuters.

Maxwell Neely-Cohen

Artist and Publisher of HTML Review

I think I’d design and print some leaflets advocating for some obscure political or cultural position, and then borrow my 12 year old downstairs neighbor’s remote control airplane and scatter them above a crowd.

Delia Cai

Writer and Creator of Deez Links

It would be called “Excerpt of the Day,” and it would be a giant Whatsapp group where I would solicit and publish pics of everyone’s favorite passages from whatever book they’re reading right now. :)

Daisy Alioto

Writer and Co-founder of Dirt

I would ask every person on a single city block to give me one sentence and turn them into a monologue performed on-site.

Lisa Cheng Smith

Founder of Yun Hai Taiwanese Pantry

I’d love to do a pamphlet called BEAN PASTE and quickly differentiate between all the different kinds of fermented soybean pastes out there and explain what they are and what they might be used for. The limitations of the English language has labeled a huge variety of bean products to simply as bean paste, to everyone’s confusion.

Thank you to: Elie Andersen, Jane Seidel, Maxwell Neely-Cohen, Delia Cai, Daisy Alioto, Lisa Cheng Smith who generously visited the class during the semester and whose creative practices embody the themes of the class.
