To represent Hong Kong? It seemed logical to go back to its origins, to set up the mise-en-scène, a granite island covered with beautiful, unspoiled jungle. In 1841, the British prime minister Lord Palmerston described Hong Kong as 'a barren island with hardly a house upon it' for which he could see no future. But it was no doubt political caution which prompted him to(...)

Summary:
Exile and marginality, network availability, mass- versus subcultural identities, privilege, opting (versus dropping) out – these are elements this issue takes on. The fading of bohemia’s appeal is no doubt linked in part to a growing preference for the web’s promise of total-connectivity. Though could another factor be at work here too: an underlying sense that perhaps(...)

All around lies a domestic and postmodern landscape of columns and bases, but also of objects of everyday use such as a packet of pasta or a can of beer. The French artist tries to seal off objects in simple or elaborate boxes, but they live a life of their own and run(...)

Summary:
Is print really dead, or is it going to die anytime soon? This book examines “a particular (and often puzzling) period in the history of print… as new digital technologies are rapidly transforming both the status and the role of printed materials.” The medium of print is without doubt under threat from new digital sources, yet the two are also finding a paradoxical coexistence despite their shared characteristics and functional competition. In some ways, print is actually nowadays being revitalized rather than replaced, an intriguing prospect which is explored in depth in the pages of this book.
