The publication Ping, from the 56th Zagreb Salon of Architecture and Urbanism, is a lavishly compressed overview of all the events in the Ping year and is an indispensable ‘key’, or final element in the Ping events puzzle. With a book format spanning 1500 pages, it enables a final and complete understanding of the world of concepts and ideas originally perceived visually-textually through teasers, which Slipčević’s ‘digital diptych/fall’ imprinted much earlier, in the dome of the Salon, into the memory of all who encountered it within their field of vision. The publication is a logical extension of Slipčević’s quick ‘world wide web’ visual search, a place where, in a peace that does not belong to this time, one can understand the imagery and textuality of each individual work that, like some pop-cultural ‘digital flashback’, has remained in the cognitive maps of visitors to the 56th Zagreb Salon. Designed and visually identified by Damir Gamulin, with layout conceptualized by Gamulin and Katarina Žižić, the Ping Publication affirms a complete understanding of the expansiveness of the events from which it emerged and visually and content-wise completes the Ping intermedia polyptych.
