Today we discussed alternative print and digital media, including alternative news media, blogs and zines. If you are interested in seeing more zines, you should visit the New York Art Book Fair, which takes place this Thursday through Sunday at MoMA PS1 in Queens. It is free and open to the public, and is “the world’s premier event for artists’ books, catalogs, monographs, periodicals, and zines,” according to its website.

Slides from today are available here.

For Monday 9/23 please read the following:

Wikipedia, Web 2.0
Baker, The Charms of Wikipedia
Tufte, Visual and Statistical Thinking (pp. 5-15 only)
Lohr, Sizing Up Big Data

Your blogging assignment is one reading response blog post.

The class visit to the Brooklyn College Library zine collection is scheduled for Saturday, September 28 at 2 pm. Please let me know if you plan to attend by Wednesday, September 25! Remember, you are always welcome to visit on your own.
