This ts a screenprint stencil, conveniently hung by its frame back-to-front, of an old Esperanto motto: “ Logika, Neutrala, Facila ” [ Logical, Neutral, Easy ]. It was included in an early Dot Dot Dot alongside Paulina Olowska's 2002 billboard campaign “ Ci vu Parolas Esperanton ? ”
[ Do you speak Esperanto ? ] At the time I naively assumed such sentiments described the magazine too, but since then have slowly come to understand it as being for closer to the polar opposite: “ Mallogika, Partia, Malsimpla ” [ Illogical, Biased, Complicated ].
