His fever has risen. We don’t know if she is sick, but there are many things to improve. Ideologically we are a bit lost, there is a constant feeling of defeat. The thing that unites people of our generation is that we believe there is no future.

“Magazine to go to shit”. Is it because of the quality of the paper?

Hey, hey, we Catalans are very scatological. We also wanted to claim that, at least when we were going to shit, we would leave aside the dictatorship of mobile phones.

I noticed that there is hardly any advertising. How are they financed?

We started doing the magazine as a monthly zine, with a few subscribers who were family and friends. With that little money, we would print it and break even. We were going with the car to distribute it. We later extended the periodicity to reduce printing costs. Now we finance a magazine with what we earn from the previous one.

As alumni, the UdG must have helped them.

The relationship with the UdG is complicated, it is a very big institution and, therefore, inflexible. They have helped us in the sense that they have been buyers of the magazine, but we have opened doors for them that perhaps they should have opened for us. As students at the UdG, we didn’t even know about the Coma Cros cultural space or the business incubator. When we had already finished studying, we organized a day with Cultural Communication students, so that they would not find themselves helpless like us at the end of their studies. In the end, we weren’t even paid for the talk.

They shouldn’t consider it work.

When they saw that the magazine was working a little, we had the feeling that they wanted to capitalize on it. Before it was the opposite, we never received any aid from the UdG, not even a space.

Is humor the best form of criticism?

If not the best, it is the most effective. And it adds aesthetic value to the critique. At least you don’t get bitter, you have a little fun

Should humor have limits?

Freedom of expression must be transversal. This involves consuming things you don’t like. In the magazine we have a very clear editorial line, but if somewhere there is another magazine with the same purpose but in the political antipodes, we have to accept it as a freedom.

Temperature was born in plain pandemic. And some contents refer to it. what was that

At least we got depressed and bored. They closed our university when we were having a good time. Well, we are here now because he gave us the time and drive to create this magazine. But on the other hand, it has been a black swan that will have marked a generation. And even worse those who were then 16-18 years old, I think it has marked them.

And that of coming out better?

Now there are more dissident messages against power, people are more reluctant to swallow all the toads. New ways of producing culture also emerge, perhaps many creators had time.

Many self-help books have come out, in Temperatura they talk about them

Making a business of helping people is demeaning. The problem with these books is the same as the problem with today’s politics: they sell you the absolute truth. Anyone who proclaims himself “self-help” already loses the ability to help from the start. There must be more people doing self-help books than people needing help.

It seems that all that entertainment that is not economically profitable is considered culture

It must be a sign of the times.

The disease of the 21st century is that everyone needs to feel special in some area. Maybe we sin from this, making a magazine. We don’t want to give ourselves saviours, thinking that what we do will help society. There will be things that distract, of course, and that’s what we set out to do.

Making culture, at the same time?

It seems that all entertainment that is not economically profitable is considered culture (laughter).
