N2 - Established in 2007 Zineopolis has a wide range of art-zines made by illustrators, artists, designers and photographers from the UK and abroad. This paper highlights selected examples that respond satirically to the theme of our relationship with changing technologies. An overview of general zines and special collections in noted libraries provided. Examples from the Zineopolis collection are shown that comment on photocopiers, working with computers, mobile devices, apps and social media. The examples in this paper explore how the illustration and text can function in harmony to provide humour and social comment. Debates around changing technologies are contextualized by anthropological (Auge & Augé, 1995) and medical research (Carr, 2010). Given the very quick, concept to print to distribution that defines all genres of zines, this paper seeks to capture contemporary satirical thoughts and illustrations about using new widely available technologies, and considers the potential of art-zines to add to social debate.
