Call for Papers: Hyperrhiz 12: kits, plans, schematics
Co-edited by Helen J Burgess and David Rieder
As the maker movement has infiltrated the academy, with delightful results, we find ourselves confronted with physical and media objects that can often be exhibited but not “published” in a permanent forum. This special issue requests submission of works that exemplify executable culture of all sorts: blueprints, plans, “kits for culture”, 3d-printable files, recipes, and detailed documentation of performances, exhibits, happenings.
Each kit or plan must be accompanied by an essay (2000-4000 words) contextualizing and theorizing the submitted work. We encourage authors to submit both finished and partial/raw files for download and remix.
Hyperrhiz is a peer-reviewed online journal specializing in new media criticism and net art. Hyperrhiz is published yearly in conjunction with its parent journal . For submission criteria, please read Submit Work to Hyperrhiz.
Deadline for abstract and sample documentation or files December 1st; essays and final files (2000-4000 words) due February 28th.
Direct all enquiries and submissions to Helen J Burgess at or David Rieder at .
