All content for the first issue has been submitted or selected in response to one word: Broken. It’s deliberately vague, but acts as the conceptual glue providing subtle cohesion for a disparate collection of voices. From the surreal, dystopian paintings of Joshua Keyes, to essays on skeuomorphic design, and Hu Jintao; in essence this first issue presents itself as a commentary on malfunction, and structures in decline; personal, technical, social, & cultural.
