Generative ARTZINES is the final outcome of the research project started in 2015 by artist publisher and researcher Antoine Lefebvre about fanzine culture. He worked in collaboration with the Objet Papier collective to imagine a unique type of web to print publication. They used accessible web tools such as css, html and javascript to create a printed publication, thus using a new way to make graphic design without the usual hegemonic softwares. Both the text and the graphic design of this publication will be generated by a custom online platform from the collection of 90 interviews gathered by Lefebvre and each downloaded PDF will be different custom made for its reader. This talk is related to the performance that Objet Papier will present on their table. During the event, visitors will be able to get their own unique copy of the book. First, they will interact with a chatbot and answer a few questions imagined by the author. Then the publication will be printed and bound on-site from a unique PDF generated using the answers of each visitor.
