A toolkit for creating zines that contain the means of their own reproduction / an "artistic" exercise in abusing QR codes for memetic self-replication

It worked!
The weird looking URL you just used is a "Data URI" and it allows you to put data right into the URL with no server.
There are more QR codes in the zine that have more data URIs, with zip files instead of web pages. When the content of all of the zip files is combined, there should be enough there to build and modify the original zine using a linux computer, or to use as a template for creating a totally new self-replicating zine.
Replication/Modification Instructions
- Get the other zip files from the other QR codes in the zine onto a Linux PC and extract all of them into one directory
- Run ./build.sh in that directory (you may need some extra packages)
- Open output.pdf to view a print-ready version of the original zine
- Use a text editor to edit c[1-4].svg to modify the zine content
- Use build.sh again to update output.pdf
