In 2014, Exact Change published a monthly e-zine, available as an app for the iPad/iPhone.
The app included text, image, sound, and film. Selections were short – the goal was to to highlight lost bits of analog formats, as we wrote in an introductory letter included with number 3:
Unfortunately, tech being what it is, the app could not keep pace with updates to Apple’s iOS and was soon rendered obsolete. The issues exist now only as an archive of screenshots, compiled into PDFs. Click on any cover image here to view those approximations.
The first e-zine number was 3, because we made two numbers of a paper zine called Exact Change in the 1980s. The last number was 14. There was also an unnumbered “sampler” issue, with selected content drawn from numbers 4 through 9.
Table of contents to each numbered issue are listed below.
