dysGENERATE_

There are ghosts in the data, phantoms within the noosphere. Measured, analyzed, extrapolated into an endless probabilistic hum. This issue, we strike code and token to commune with the false voices that lurk in the electronic mist.

SOLID STATE_

This is not the first clash of art and machines, nor the last. The echoes of those first great collisions dance as yet through digital tombs, reverberating and recombining into the stuff of creation itself.

“I’m society’s destructor. I’m a petrol bomb constructor. I’m a cosmic light conductor. I’m the people’s debt collector.” — Hawkwind, “Urban Guerilla”
