From FSGO x Logic: a revealing examination of digital advertising and the internet's precarious foundation

In Subprime Attention Crisis, Tim Hwang investigates the way big tech financializes attention. In the process, he shows us how digital advertising—the beating heart of the internet—is at risk of collapsing, and that its potential demise bears an uncanny resemblance to the housing crisis of 2008.

From the unreliability of advertising numbers and the unregulated automation of advertising bidding wars, to the simple fact that online ads mostly fail to work, Hwang demonstrates that while consumers’ attention has never been more prized, the true value of that attention itself—much like subprime mortgages—is wildly misrepresented. And if online advertising goes belly-up, the internet—and its free services—will suddenly be accessible only to those who can afford it.

Deeply researched, convincing, and alarming, Subprime Attention Crisis will change the way you look at the internet, and its precarious future.

FSG Originals × Logic dissects the way technology functions in everyday lives. The titans of Silicon Valley, for all their utopian imaginings, never really had our best interests at heart: recent threats to democracy, truth, privacy, and safety, as a result of tech’s reckless pursuit of progress, have shown as much. We present an alternate story, one that delights in capturing technology in all its contradictions and innovation, across borders and socioeconomic divisions, from history through the future, beyond platitudes and PR hype, and past doom and gloom. Our collaboration features four brief but provocative forays into the tech industry’s many worlds, and aspires to incite fresh conversations about technology focused on nuanced and accessible explorations of the emerging tools that reorganize and redefine life today.

Dears – Issue 2

DEARS- magazine for writing practices at the crossroads between poetry, art and experimental writing.

64 pages with texts by Ann Cotten, Barbara Sirieix, Delphine Chapuis Schmitz, Heather Phillipson, Ines Marita Schärer, Kayije Kagame, Legion Seven, Leila Peacock, Louise Guerra Archive, Tarek Lakhrissi, and an epigraph by Rebecca Solnit

The second issue of DEARS is full of stories, magical statements and personal incantations. It contains dreams, confessions, rituals and invocations. Nirvana and nirvana show up in different (con)texts, “muck” meets aliens, fantasy and visions... The texts seem to be linked by an unconscious, underground network of thoughts, ideas and feelings. When we first read them, there was an uncanny sense of overlaps and interweaving, and yet each voice feels uniquely loaded with a personal urgency. Their words dig into raw feelings and emotions, do not pretend nor hide limitations.

Novella is an annual-ish publication on fashion and an accompanying collection of fashion-adjacent items. Informed by the “compact and pointed plot” structure of the traditional novella, each collection and magazine attempts to weave a compelling narrative within the bounds of text and textiles.

In this first issue, we have asked contributors to take stock of their material world as it relates to fashion and romance. Within the following pages you will find an inventory of our research, artifacts, and reflections on these themes, ranging from insights into the use of apparel within romance fiction, clothing and compatibility within relationships, as well as reflections on the cultural symbolism of the wedding dress and the nostalgia of clothing from a not-too-distant past.

Novella Issue No.1, Romance measures 6” x 8.5”, with 136 pages, a pink softcover with otabind binding, and is offset printed in black and white with a color image gallery in the center. Front and back cover feature the editor’s letter, while the inner front flap features a tearaway bookmark that acts as a secondary table of contents to accompany the reader throughout the book.

NORTHLETTERS MAGAZINE throws a light on the Nordic, its stories, nature, culture and soul.

Our homes, our gardens and our home landscapes can change our habits, minds and feelings. They respond to our emotional needs, they are touching our souls, they communicate with us. Home is the place where we belong. Belonging is a deep reassuring emotion. Our homes, gardens and landscapes are a symbol for the process of growing, of leaving something incomplete, they help us to learn to let go, to rest, to accept, to find some peace finally. And thus growing a garden or a home is an ever evolving process, and at the same time with a grounding and peace bringing effect. We learn to live the process, instead of becoming blind while staring at the result. Understanding and creating a home is a lesson for life, where we can practise to give up perfectionism, to accept setbacks and where we can adapt humility, when things turned out beautifully in a way we haven’t ever expected or planned.

The NL3 writers and photographers were seeking out solace in the beauty of our homes, gardens & landscape, looking for the comfort and ease our homes are giving to us. At home we set the atmosphere for our lives, the rhythm of our days, we restore our human balance and emotions, far away from the hectic outside world. Our homes are our favourite places, full of items with a special meaning to us, secure places where we can relax and reenergize, a space where we never feel lost.

A home is like a vessel carrying memories. Especially old houses or those we have fond remembrances of, have voices, telling us intriguing stories about former dinners, owners, hours full of joy or tears or wonderful days still to come. A home can balance us with a deep sense of security, when we encounter it with a soft respect and understanding. Smell of wood, smoke of a fireplace, fading afternoon light, the evolving morning peace and quiet in the garden- we learn what the place is all about and why this now is our place and our home.

Home always is landscape as well, the one we derive from, the one we belong to or the one we found one day, instantly feeling at home….

Let us explore with our Nordic Writers and Photographers this magic home feeling….

Para Jounral – Notes besides the point
assembles text an image.

Issue 1 is dedicated to getting lost. More than 30 friends and strangers, from Mexico City to Tiblisi, from Glasgow to Dar es Saalam contributed.

160 pages, B4

Lost in cables, lost in gadgets, technology and devices, lost in thoughts and memories, on outings, in images. Complexity and abundance (of things, options, hazards) allow for myriad ways to err and lose track, in often annoying, sometimes dangerous ways. Proximity – be it corporeal or virtual – puts us in constant touch with others, only to lose it with ourselves.

Etc pp, and on and on with the lamentation.

It is easy to denounce a lack of orientation in contemporary existence. Because, who does really know where we are and where we are headed. But then, who are we, and – is it actually so important to know, at all times? Isn’t it rather the obsession with tracking and knowing always and exactly where we are that causes so much of the confusion? Who cares.

In these pages we don’t, very much. On the contrary, and true to the name of the magazine PARA (parallel, against), here we celebrate, revel in, in any case get closer to the phenomenon of getting lost. We may follow down memories (what’s the point in that?), meander on unspectacular paths along insignificant streams going nowhere, reminisce about lost objects we may or may not miss, find ourselves in nondescript dead-ends, losing track of what just...

The feral peripheries, the unglamorous anti-climax, the empty field, the non-designed paved road cum gravel/plant/random sign... In the everyday we inhabit these places more often then we think (because we think of everything else but what’s in front of our eyes, or we just think about was has been put in front of our noses, mainly screens). So we want to explore the fully-charted territory, again, to discover anew what it can all mean – because nothing is forever. It’s to inject the anti-serum of presence in absence into inescapable dullness – romanticism after irony.

This sounds all quite serious, solemn, and it is (yet not only). Transparency, information, happiness - if there’s too much of them, they become oppressive, especially when the aspiration to deliver on them becomes normative. Plus (yes it’s a matter of quantity and measure) we miss the point on a much larger issue: it is impossible to always get it right, logically but more importantly existentially. Failure is the ultimate point. And the animal that we are comes (often) on two legs, to wander and explore, try and err. Not allowing this coerces the world, reality, us into a mold that does away with the cherished pursuit of happiness information transparency. Thou shalt get lost!

Ark Journal Volume 5

Nature and its creative force have always been a source of inspiration and motifs in art, architecture and design. In Scandinavia the stark differences between the seasons amplify this consciousness of nature and its recurring patterns.
In Volume V we examine the relationship between art, architecture and design and the natural world. Leading figures from those worlds including fashion designer Simone Rocha share their personal perspectives on the magical intertwining of people, objects and nature.
In an exclusive book extract, we share the personal spaces Donald Judd created in Marfa, Texas, that are a living testimony to the artist’s visionary philosophies of art and architecture.
Accompany us on a personal journey to China with renowned photographer Hélène Binet and to Terra Ignota (Foreign Lands), chemigrams by Åke E:son Lindman featured in an insert.
In the Swedish archipelago Christian and Ruxandra Halleröd take us into the forest where they built a house that seems as if it was just placed in the midst of the old-growth trees.
We explore how artist Kirstine Roepstorff found solace in the Danish countryside after leaving urban Berlin where she had lived and worked for 15 years.
From a loft in Tribeca, New York, to a classic historical Copenhagen apartment and a rustic Italian palazzo, we visit homes that demonstrate a sensitivity towards nature, art and timeless design that encourages reflection and inspiration.
In our Case Studies we feature pieces united by the discerning eye of a collector and the natural order of handcrafted and tactile Nordic design.

Kinfolk Issue 39: The Youth Issue

Individually formative and culturally formidable, youth looms large in the collective imagination. Kinfolk’s Spring Issue is a playbook for the young—and the young at heart.

Heroine 14: Instinct

See. Feel. Hear. React. In uncertain times, trust your gut, your judgement. Intuit your path, divine your future in real time. ⁠

Artists, designers, photographers, activists. Voices, stories, powerful ideas.⁠

Elsemarie Riis – photographed by Robbie Fimmano and styled by Miguel Enamorado

In anticipation of his upcoming retrospective at The Whitney Museum we speak to renowned photographer Dawoud Bey about his ever-contemporary vision of America; the show is one of the largest surveys of a living Black photographer in US history.

Filmmaker and model Jari Jones is in-conversation with American model Ebonee Davis. Both prominent voices advocating change and equality, the pair discuss becoming an activist out of necessity: “If I want to wear my hair natural, it’s activism. So hell, give ‘em activism!” – and how taking control of your image is freedom.

Ambush co-founder Yoon Anh tells us about her ambitions to create a modern maison that reflects today’s current climate – “Ambush feels like it’s in a stage of jazz music right now because I’m doing things in an impromptu fashion, my feelings dictate right off the bat”.

Using lockdown as an opportunity to write a new solo album and connect with fans online, legendary musician Gail Ann Dorsey reflects on how she dropped everything to record and tour with David Bowie, in a feature shot by Michael Avedon.

Unpicking her current online exhibition running at White Cube, British artist Rachel Kneebone takes us through her instinctual creative process – the magic of embracing volatile transformation.

Plus: Legendary photographer Ari Marcopoulos’ latest instalment of CHAOS, a unique zine collaboration only found in the pages of HEROINE, Benjamin Hampson and Peghah Maleknejad's ethereal story Eudaimonia, Antonio Mingot and Paolo Zagoreo's The Sitting, and Vasily Agrenenko and Inês Bizarro's De/Construction.

10 Men – Spring/Summer 2021

Introducing the brand new issue of 10 Men – NO PLACE, LIKE, HOME. They say home is where the heart is, and after a year of being trapped in our humble abodes, Issue 53 of 10 Men is all about the places which bring us peace and harmony – as told by 10 Men's contributors.

In this issue we celebrate this idea of home with a new interiors section, Inside 10. It gives us our very own through-the-key-hole moments. Rick Owens photographed his home in Concordia sulla Secchia, Italy, which he describes as his most perfected interior. We also asked Mr Armani to take a picture of his favourite view and tasked eight designers to show us their favourite things in their homes and studios.

There really is no place like home, and the fashion in this issue is also a discussion of that theme. Our contributors expressed this, celebrating the worlds that are so special to them. Home is a place filled with the people we love. It’s the people we share it with that make it all the more treasured and special.

Reportagen Magazin

Reportagen, das unabhängige Magazin für erzählte Gegenwart. Herausragende Autorinnen und Autoren berichten in spannenden Reportagen aus dieser Welt. Vor Ort recherchiert, persönlich bei den Protagonisten und abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade. Jeden zweiten Monat neu.

In 1979, JEB (Joan E. Biren) self-published her first book, Eye to Eye: Portraits of Lesbians. Revolutionary at that time, JEB made photographs of lesbians from different ages and backgrounds in their everyday lives―working, playing, raising families, and striving to remake their worlds. The photographs were accompanied by testimonials from the women pictured in the book, as well as writings from icons including Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich and a foreword from Joan Nestle. Eye to Eye signaled a radical new way of seeing―moving lesbian lives from the margins to the center, and reversing a history of invisibility. More than just a book, it was an affirmation of the existence of lesbians that helped to propel a political movement. Reprinted for the first time in forty years and featuring new essays from photographer Lola Flash and former soccer player Lori Lindsey, Eye to Eye is a faithful reproduction of a work that continues to resonate in the queer community and beyond.

April 2021 Global Interiors Issue of Wallpaper*

Welcome to our annual Global Interiors issue. Good design can enable, inspire and elevate our lives. This has been magnified over the last year, as circumstances have required us to stay at home, with more opportunity than ever to contemplate the stuff that surrounds us. Marking a year since the pandemic turned the world upside down, this Global Interiors issue salutes the design pieces that have brightened our days, and the luminous talents behind them.

We’ve broadened the scope of our headline interiors story, featuring designs from six continents, rather than focusing on six specific countries as we did in previous years. Our head of interiors Olly Mason worked with Berlin design studio Form & Rausch to create a visual feast, setting standout furniture pieces against escapist backdrops that are modern while rooted in geographical context.

We also bring you a trio of midcentury Californian homes that have been given a new lease of life. In Malibu, Kelly Wearstler transformed a long-neglected beach house with an illustrious pedigree into a striking surf shack. In Los Angeles, meanwhile, just below the Hollywood sign, Studio Shamshiri’s take on the former home of Robert Kennard (a leading Black architect of his generation) is an exercise in thoughtful luxury. Nearby, we revisit John Lautner’s Garcia House, an icon of American architectural history that was featured in Wallpaper’s January 2009 issue (W*118). Owners John McIlwee and Bill Damaschke, architects Marmol Radziner, interior designer Darren Brown and environmental designer John Sharp offer us a masterclass in sensitive reinvention, presented over 12 pages and also starring on our newsstand cover.

Further alluring homes in the issue include a converted barn in Norfolk, by London-based 31/44 Architects, and a family home in the Hamptons that pays homage to the area’s farmhouses, by New York’s Young Projects.

We call on three visionaries who have changed architecture in very different ways. In a conversation with our architecture editor Ellie Stathaki, Rem Koolhaasdiscusses Boompjes, his first commission for Rotterdam and an early expression of his now-famous vision for urban living. ‘Towers are the expression of capitalism and slabs are the main expression of socialism. In the 1980s, it was very interesting to try and create a hybrid shape,’ he says.

We take a deep dive into the work of Anupama Kundoo, which is at once elegant, resourceful, environmentally sound, and celebratory of local knowledge. Above all, she believes that architecture should be a conduit to happiness: ‘There is no other aim: to be alive is to be happy.’

And we look back on the career of Italian postmodernist master Paolo Portoghesi, a creator of Baroque-inspired buildings and advocate for the first Venice Architecture Biennale. Going against the currents of his era, he championed ‘a bit of noise and colour in architecture’, a call for greater creative freedom that has proven prescient when we consider the plurality of contemporary architecture.

As 2021 gathers momentum and optimism, this is a timely celebration of design. We hope you enjoy the issue!
