YEAR 2012
This second YEAR is still an almanac, a choral book revealing behind the stage. Seasons are information. Hey, look at what has been done, should be or will be or never be. This issue is like talking with images. You can connect one page to another. Text can be spare, descriptive or exhaustingly disruptive. What have you done means what it will be. We asked people about what’s in their mind from the past or for the future and that creates an all present. Last time, we talked about no future, now we are no present. YEAR is still a chain reaction, organizing its content in the form of sequences. YEAR is still an experimental constellation.
The time of manifestos and propaganda is back! From the everyday or larger issues of sociability and historicity. It takes the shape of a collage of disparate sources in time and place. Advertisement, propaganda and manifestos are the ultimate forms for abstraction and engrained subjectivity like space from outer space. Porn and insults, unreal kind of novellas, advertisement as public space, again, opposed to archives, distinction opposed to evaluation, again, narrative to order, cool to distance, taste to energy, again, beauty to sense, sense to idea, idea to experience, experience to life and life to style and style to knowledge and knowledge to power and power to all perversive shit. Still.
As an author use your imagination to be radical, literal and obscene! As a reader use your intellect and senses to be radical, metaphorical and obscene!

DIA Issue Nr. 2: Launch @ Motto Zürich, May 11th, 7pm.
Das DIA-Issue ist eine Print-Publikation in kleiner Auflage, die viermal jährlich erscheint und im Kontrast zur herrschenden Online-Euphorie steht. Die Faltbroschüre ist einerseits als Zeitschrift zu lesen, andererseits soll es aber auch Artefakt-Charakter haben und als Poster aufhängbar sein – die Produzenten nennen die Form dieser Publikation Feuilleton-Poster. In jeder Ausgabe werden Essays zu einem Thema abgedruckt, die von einem offenen Redaktionsteam erarbeitet werden. Diese Texte werden von einer Selektion von Dias illustrativ begleitet, wobei die Aufnahmen so ausgewählt werden, dass diese zwar sehr wohl das Ausgabenthema bebildern, sich aber ein direkter Bezug zwischen Essay und Illustration nicht zwingend sofort aufdrängt.
Die Idee für DIA-Issue entstammt dem Verlangen den fotografischen Nachlass des Herrn Dr. Rudolf Becks würdigend zu verwerten. Herr Dr. Rudolf Beck war ab 1950 für das Unternehmen Shell tätig und bereiste in deren Auftrag die ganze Welt. Er hinterliess einen überaus umfangreichen Fundus von Fotografien und Dias, die während seinen Reisen entstanden.
Total Control is a band based in Melbourne, Australia that has existed since 2008 never as a full time engagement until 2010. Two American tours and one small European tour based around an appearance at ATP’S Nightmare Before Christmas have been undertaken. In 2012 a 12″ featuring some of their more vague electronic experiments is due to be released
Their album Henge Beat is out on Iron Lung Records
Band member James Vinciguerra also operates Horizon Pages
