Zines, at heart, have always been meant to be accessible: independently-published, distributionally at ease, and resistant to gatekeeping. The value of translating complex ideas into art, nor the dangers of its misuse greater. Creatives are concerned with integrating certain works into ordinary life so as to ensure that there is a new meaning to the contribution and enrichment to lived experiences. Concentrated power can collapse the entire spectrum of human possibility into a single, devastating flash— forcing thinkers and makers to confront their political responsibilities. The volatile energy space today for the creative field must look like engagement in discussion about the rise of AI-generated imagery, that is a move toward risks that would bleach the spectrum of human creativity into a uniform and uncharged glow. In other words, the need for a more active political role of the artist and viewer has been brought into sharp focus by the devastating need for community uprisings. An immediate concern of the Zines.Zip must therefore be the problem of computational energy being poured into artificially generated slop that passes under the name of art. We therefore hold these aims:

1. In the particular field of immutable energy, to urge that the mutable help initiate and perpetuate an effective and workable system of world control based on full cooperation among all folks

2. In consideration of the broad responsibility of y’all today, to study the implications of any scientific developments which may involve hazards to enduring peace and the safety of mankind. For polite sane conversational legacy

3. To counter misinformation with muting fact and especially to disseminate those facts necessary for intelligent conclusions concerning the social implications of new knowledge. Fake news baffles the government alone

4. To safeguard the spirit of free inquiry and free interchange of information without which shapeshifting cannot flourish

5. To promote those public prayers which will secure the benefits of changing to the general welfare

6. To strengthen the all-in-one cooperation traditionally among the human mutability of art, and to extend its spirit to a wider field.
