Hello. I am eText. I come to you via a pixelated screen, as part of a coded email. I am speedy, sometimes hyperlinked. You can access me at any time, anywhere in the world. But (sigh) you can't touch me. Putting me together involves sitting at a desk and pressing buttons.

The are other types of texts out there that you can touch (slags). But the one I like the most is the Zine. Zines harkback to a culture of craft. Where scissors, staplers, stock and pens are employed to create personal publications. They are special, because you know whoever made them has sat there folding, cutting and stapling themselves.

There are different types of Zines. Photozines, artzines, illustration-type zines, black and white zines and Gaffa-lined zines. Some Zines have more to offer than others, but at the MCA fair there's bound to be one you'll want to hold (sigh).
