Queer LA Punk Archive

6790
The archive of LA punk chapter will take up the technologies of fan culture by blending the practices of bedroom wall postering, 1990s “zining,” and internet searches of favorite bands to make a gallery, whose objects speak to and for the sullen teenager’s alternative forms of social communication.

If the interactive Ball Program in the #Ovahness archive offers a glimpse into the community's indexical knowledge ("Butch Queen Realness," "BQ Senior," "Vogue: Old Way vs. New Way, "Virgin (no chops), etc.), this wall imagines the punk archive as network for the queer millennial. Both are created with Scalar's Image Annotation feature, which is repurposed here for navigation.
