Paperweight Issue One: Screen (Print) by Polygraphia £3.00
In this print version of 'Screen: The Birthday Issue', Paperweight celebrates the first printed use of the word screen as a media term, with the publication in 1810 of instructions on how ‘To Make Transparent Screens for the Exhibition of the Phantasmagoria’ in Maria Eliza Rundell’s The New Family Receipt-Book. To mark this 200th anniversary, Paperweight's authors made a series of offerings to our screenic gods:
Mervyn Heard on Smoke Screens / Øyvind Vågnes on the Cultural History of the Zapruder Film / Matt Lodder on Televising the Tattoo / Marquard Smith on Metadata / Howard Pensly on Boatology / Zoe Hendon on Sun and Screens / Laine Nooney on Female Gamers / Geo Takach on Writing Between Stage and Screen / Paul Micklethwaite on Screen Ecology / Scientific Encounters with Alexander Doust / Harriet Riches on Sally Mann’s ‘The Family and The Land’ / Rebecca Onion with Some Notes on Toys
