Survival by Sharing (scenes and provocations) describes a publishing ethos, told in a series of scenes, non-chronologically. The writing incorporates ideas about AI, archives, and embodiment. It’s a cinematic timeline, told in queer time.

It was first presented as a talk delivered on June 17, 2023 at “Publishing as a Worldview,” the 25th annual conference of the Korean Society of Typography in Seoul, Republic of Korea. An edition of 100 copies of a 16-page newsprint zine containing the text of the talk was printed at Queer.Archive.Work in Providence, RI and hand-carried to Seoul to distribute to the audience at the talk. I reprinted Survival by Sharing and distributed a new edition of 50 copies at Printed Matter’s Sunday Zine Fair at The Brooklyn Museum in November 2023. A new version of the talk was delivered at the University of Missouri, Kansas City in 2024.

The essay was also published in LetterSeed 24 New Season: Publishing as a Worldview by the Korean Society of Typography in September 2023.
