This zine, produced for Ed Young's 2019 exhibition IT’S FUN WITHOUT YOU with the message salon embassy in Zurich, offers "a pamphlet, a crude text shot from a Twitter machine pistol, a breathless string of disturbing statements and provocations." The blurb continues: "Who is the narrator in this text? Are they real fragments from the comment sections on news portals or from Donald Trump’s Twitter account, from Emmanuel Macron’s speeches or from an Antifa website? Or perhaps the spawning of an unleashed algorithm, fed with the daily obscenities of the Internet?"

20 x 14cm | 35 pages | edition of 70
