MAY Revue #23

The features in this issue, edited collaboratively by Felix Bernstein and myself, point towards updated modes of textuality at work. If by the 1980s, signifiers were understood to have been fully loosed by forces of societal atomization, they were also being reterritorialized in the form of non-semantic digital code. Now, text and image are everywhere, multitasking (as data) and functioning in newly optimized, automatic ways; and so are we. Within this activated slop, what is auto- and what is bio-? What critical methods emerge for writing and art-making? Contributors to
May no. 23 follow various routes, in poetry, talking, psychoanalysis, synesthetics, navigating neural pathways, and walking in the city.
