This isn’t your buddy recording an EP on cassette, this is buying machinery from Polaroid wholesale, taking over an abandoned factory, developing new chemicals and reagents from scratch and rescuing an estimated 300 million Polaroid cameras from antiquity. They are officially launching in Australia by presenting an exhibition of work in the medium (led by Jackson Eaton) and a chance to get your grubby mitts on some self-developing history. – KD
