mat.zine #09 call for submissions

Posted in Announcements by stephen on May 10, 2011

now that mat.zine #08 is circulating by web or hands it’s time to stir up some excitement about the next edition of mat.zine: copy paste

this sequence of commands is so familiar to our daily life. but what if we ponder the implications of this simple gesture on design, writing, ethics, architecture, music.

for this issue, i’d like to request that submissions be sent in hard copy format i.e. by post.

understandably this will not be possible for everyone but if you can, post your submissions to the address below:
Stephen Mackie
NEU Architects
9 Heneage Street
London
E1 5LJ


deadline for submissions: 17 june 2011

submissions by e-mail should be sent to – submissions.matzine@gmail.com

domestic exotic : food for thought

Posted in Announcements by esmefieldhouse on March 25, 2011

it’s 7 days until the submission deadline for matzine#8 : here are three foods for your thinking :

1. Slinkachu [above] : look up, look down, zoom in, recycle, make up a story

2. Psychogeographing [the word ‘Psychogeography’ comes from DeQuincey’s wanderings, slightly druggy, no pattern, mapping out the city in a dream-like state. Then with Walter Benjamin and the Situationists the term becomes more extreme, a matter of taking very conceptual decisions about the walking you would do and how you would access the city like that] Iain Sinclair, 1999
3. many small parts make an unexpectedly massive whole : think small

please email your handiwork to submissions.matzine@gmail.com by end of play on Friday 1 April

the issue will be in an a5 format, as before, but I encourage creativity within those limits
