This is a first volume of a periodical hoping to occupy a textual junction of print and web, taking on the idea of a trans-national and trans-historic existence. This first issue takes as its theme modes of communicative sound and language, as they come to be employed in specific spatial and temporal locations, touching upon subjects ranging from Homer’s Odyssey to computer coding. This first issue also includes two “website-specific” virtual installations accessible via QR codes printed in the volume.
