"Junk Jet is a
fanzine, a
collaborative format
set up to discuss
subversive and
hoaxing pirate works
on topics of
electronic media and
aesthetics. It is
both an online
publication
(including movies,
images, software,
and pdfs),
exploiting all
possibilities of
multimedia, and an
extravagant lo-fi
paper publication
(including special
gifts) on a
non-commercial
scale.
Junk Jet has
established an open
platform for
artists, media
theorists, and
others to take part
in an aesthetic but
futile battle
against conventional
use of modern media.
From radio to
computer it has
collected
significant works
subverting, boarding
or even breaking
technological
systems, for
aesthetic purposes,
curiosities, and
instincts. Or just
for fun. Junk Jet
offers an
interlinking base
for those medial Don
Qichottes, who set
their hands on
electronic devices
constructed as black
boxes by
technological
industries. It is
these users, who hit
mainstream practice,
as they not only
extend the boarders
of custom, by using
electronic devices
in a way they were
not intended, but
also as they tunnel
common aesthetics
and functions,
determined by
technological
dispositives.
In this, Junk Jet
deals with tinkering
(bricoler, basteln),
with forms and found
objects, with
theories and (small)
narratives, with
fashions and styles,
and of course with
computers and other
electronic devices.
It is about
exploring
do-it-yourself
works, accidental
outcomes, deviant
and normal aesthetic
forms that result
from misused media,
subverted customary
tools, and jammed
common practices. It
is about cultivating
an anti heart by
“introducing noise
to signal”: by
distorting the
digital hype and
collapsing the
technological
seduction. "
