0 to 9 was an experimental, mimeographed magazine published in New York City from 1967 to 1969, co-edited by Vito Acconci and Bernadette Mayer. It is considered a highly influential publication of the period, featuring avant-garde poetry and conceptual art with a focus on language, performance, conceptual art, and minimalist aesthetics, and A "dematerialized" approach to art that moved beyond traditional gallery systems, with content that often broke traditional rules of readability and design. The magazine was known for its limited print runs and "do-it-yourself" approach, providing a platform for many innovative artists and writers of the era.
Phillips jumps directly into the dialogue in their 2025 unsolicited contribution to 0 to 9, the iconic poetry and text art magazine. They contribute two pieces – a duet: first, a poem that acts as a collage, in the spirit of the artist's wider practice, with placement and (inter)relationship playing critical roles; and second, an object-oriented ontological poem designed to be copied, and cut out, to be used as bookmarks, in a playful dialogue with the philosophical movement, as well as the interactivity of the text and publication. Phillips draws on personal mythology and an evolving archive of media images and symbols to evoke a dialogue that spans generations, and incorporates them into a lineage of artists.
