We invite submissions to a special issue of the Live Interfaces journal, on the theme of “Making-With”. In using this term, we evoke Donna Haraway’s description of a fundamental mode of existence - a sort of becoming together, as a response to the otherwise isolated and alienated condition a technology mediated life now seems to impose.
We welcome essays, articles, audiovisual works and experiments across a range of formats that will be published online - see the aims and scope of this journal. We particularly welcome submissions that address issues of Hacking (from hardware hacking to cultural hacking); Interfacing with nature; and emergent practices in the Global South. We invite you to engage freely with the theme, or not. The guest editors of this issue are Kristina Andersen, Joel Ryan and Atau Tanaka, working alongside editor-in-chief Adriana Sá.
The submission process will take place in two stages:
1) Expression of Interest, including a 70 words bio, the title, a 250 words abstract and selected bibliography. Please send it to liveinterfacesjournal [@] gmail.com, with the subject “Live Interfaces Journal > expression of interest”.
2) Full submission, through a web interface that allows for media-rich contents.
Deadline for expression of interest: April 10th
Notification of invitation for full submission: April 21st
Deadline for full submissions: July 1st
