Issue 1 of the Killgrid is a politically-minded art zine. Via fashionably dystopian collages of chromed bodies, cell phones, pixel-fragments from QR codes and military imagery — and thru the curated quoting of corporatese, professors, and so-called experts — KG drives a stake right thru the heart of the algorithm, skewering the idea that all technological process is positive and ripping apart claims that the Internet of things will bring about the “ancient promise” of an egalitarian utopia. The zine (and it’s accompanying website) are attractive to look at, but they lean heavily on curation and they left me clamoring for something actionable, for more meat on the bone. I hope future issues delve deeper into the issues and tackle how we can fight against the “algorithmic apartheid state”. I did appreciate the handful of shiny stickers the zine comes packaged with; they’re perfect for committing your own acts of agitprop on light poles and trash cans throughout your city.
