The concept behind my zine is the process behind how Miller Performing arts center was built. I found humor in the absurd nature of how it was constructed on the side of a really steep hill. I found out through my research about the company that built it and the intense planning required to allow…
The Future is Absurd
Our concept for the absurd future is a crime scene that was left behind as a result of a battle between the visual arts and performing arts students.
