Cooperation between Volume and Multiplicity & Visual Identities/ Design2context, Zurich University of the Arts

Multiplicity's initiator Evert Ypma took part in the editorial team and integrated textual and visual contributions from an international group of students and Multiplicity-related experts in this publication (Volume 19, Spring 2009).
