Workshop manual & zine: Extra-Terrestrial Ethnographies of the Future-Present
Taking the contemporary moment as an alien world, participants in this workshop embark on “tracking” missions, using memes, news media, vlogs, archival images, political satire, peer commentary & works of fiction as “data” to create a collaborative sci–fi ethnography. The resulting textual body—an extra-terrestrial account of our “new normal”— evolved online through a collaborative platform resulting in a zine publication.
