Summary:
In issue 005 of Digital Frontier, meet the Outlier people, projects and ideas reimaging what our future will look like. The founders of New Computer are attempting to code a computerised soul; Kenyan builders leapfrog ahead using DIYed infrastructure; and multi-hyphenate creatives Danielle Baskin and Damjanski are turning random thoughts into engaging experiences. We also explore a DeepMind researcher’s suggestion that AI needs a body to attain superintelligence and dive into the weird world of virtual fantasy via Berlin’s Cybrothel. We hope the youthful optimism of everyone featured is contagious.

Summary:
This issue expands on codes as ethical, social, political, and legal boundaries—considering them as sets of visible and invisible instructions moving within and beyond the digital imaginary. Through features, interviews, and experimental texts, artists and writers probe how developments in AI and coding are products of existing mechanics of the world, and how else codes are constituted. From programming languages as poetry to paranormal readings with the land against settler ideas of an inanimate wilderness, contributors ask how the material consequences of an array of codes might be re-inscribed to understand or lay form to (alternate) conditions of life.

Summary:
To mark Log’s 20 years of observing architecture and the contemporary city, former guest editors and current editorial protagonists were invited to interview someone whose work resonates with their current thinking or concerns, or even with what keeps them up at night. The conversations they initiated range from designing with AI to AI’s possible future consciousness; from natural French wine to Indigenous Mexican textiles; from building architecture to theorizing architecture; from corruption in the building industry to untold histories. Literary critic Caroline Levine calls for activism; urbanist Milton S.F. Curry says it’s a time for manifestos; and artist Ursula Biemann brings our relationship to a changing Earth System into sharper view.

Summary:
Callemin explores what photography reveals—and what it conceals. His images question our habit of reading meaning into appearances, a process that has long shaped how we view identity. His meticulously staged photographs, using handmade sets, sculptures, and close collaborations with models, invite viewers to question what they see. In an era of AI, filters, and digital manipulation, Callemin returns to the photo studio and uses physical materials like clay and plaster to explore how perception can be deceptive. He works closely with his subjects to examine how the body is seen—or hidden—by the camera. The result is a series that challenges how we see and what we believe.
