S P C | Rīga, 'Static on the Line'
Discovery. Design. And conversation.
This issue includes A. Spaice's piece 'Static on the Line.'
It's a conversation between two people who know one another well, but are, somehow, not on the same wavelengths.
Or even in the same galaxies...
A Spaice
'Conversation and connexion and learning as we go,' says A.Spaice, the research and development director of Design Kompany and a budding science fiction writer, too.
A. Spaice's six-part series,'Uncertainty', is featured in half of this season's set of zines, in S P A C E | Winter 2019-20, 'Project Epicurus'.

Here's a bit more about that idea... 'Art of Now...'
'Time already happened.’ I document through collage a very specific set of conversations: isolated and recollected moments. Think of a mirror reflecting another mirror.Where does here stop, start? What about now? The collages I make—whether a temporal meet up of strangers in real life, or a physical book pieced together with papers I collect wherever I go—are each a set of collected moments, reprocessed, and given a chance to be experienced newly by someone who finds them, and turns pages, turns them back, regroups, and investigates… as a new moment. Turning the pages, and making time to slow down, in order to absorb fully… so as to ultimately invite attentiveness. In that space, there can then be, I feel, a conversation, between sender, and receiver, through this medium of small book collage.To pause at ‘now.’ At ‘here.’ Could time mirror itself, too? ---DK
