ISSUE 4

ISSUE #4

Editors note:

Still can't believe this magazine lasted more than three issues. I guess i'm becoming a more organized person because of this. Anyway...

Original plan for the #4 was to make a prose-centered issue. There was a fair share of nice pieces that were individually fine - but in whole it wasn't working at all. It was a mess. So I decided to start from scratch instead trying to fix fundamentally broken concept.

And it was moderately successful. It took longer than usual to make it work. The flow wasn't as good as Issue 3. There were a lot of trash submissions and too many pieces that were critically unfit for the magazine that promotes experimental writing. But after all - it's a solid issue with lots and lots of great stuff to read and think about.

I'm glad to present you the works of the following:

Phil Openshaw - Five visual pieces

Phil Openshaw is a photographer and visual artist who works within a wide variety of media including digital manipulation, glitch, audiovisual transformation, sound art, coding, calligraphy, music, print, painting and asemic writing.

Professional photographic work includes a broad practice with themes including: urban environments, transformation, people, their impact on landscape and nature; the conflicting interests involved in organised urban development, the existing environments and population.

Abstract pieces often include photography combined with drawn and abstract imagery. Working with digital and abstract works led to an exploration of the visual languages of text, propaganda, and printed media leading to current asemic and related works.
