mat.zine #10 call for submissions
It’s that time again!! Calling all thinkers, do’ers and creatives from all fields!
Following on from the success of Copy + Paste, mat.zine # 09 . I am happy to throw a new topic into the fray.
BRICK
This forth coming Mat.zine Issue # 10 is to be a collection of dialogues between Brick and I. Where brick is the mundane physicality of our environment and I, the complex homosapien.
The premise for this edition comes from my personal experience in Mumbai. Here, it seems, the artist, the architects, the anthropologists, the urban thinkers and the poets have gone missing. This city is built on pure necessity, and a little greed. To me this metropolis of 20 Million has been pared down to its urban essentials. But through essential necessity, the city is beautiful, there is art and there is architecture. There is culture and and there is poetry, it may not be formalized and it may not be glamorous but it exists in abundance.
My challenge for you is to explorer the same poetry and beauty in the essential building blocks of your environment, however hidden they may be.
Focus should be around; the everyday, the tangible and ultimately the prosaic reality of our physical environment.
As with all mat.zines we encourage freedom of style, medium and weight for submission.
Final submission: Thursday 1 September 2011
Editor: Ryan McLoughlin
submissions by email should be sent to: submissions.matzine@gmail.com
matzine #07’s food for thought
There are at least three different arrows of time. First, there is the thermodynamic arrowof time, the direction of time in which disorder or entropy increases. Then, there is thepsychological arrow of time. This is the direction in which we feel time passes, the direction in which we remember the past but not the future. Finally, there is thecosmological arrow of time. This is the direction of time in which the universe isexpanding rather than contracting.
Hawking, A brief history of time, 1988
