<---- Description -------------------------------------------------->

INCITE Journal of Experimental Media seeks submissions of media art writing, criticism, interviews, artist pages, Twitter sagas, jokes, and creative contributions for its sixth issue along the thematic: FOREVER.

In contemporary economies of immediacy and connectivity, what is temporality’s role and relevance other than as a force to be exploded?

<---- Puzzle Bank -------------------------------------------------->

Why are LPs and film reels and tapes and optical discs and iPod menu buttons all circular? What does it mean to wait 8 hours in line to see Marclay’s “The Clock”? Why does Hollis Frampton scholar Clint Enns claim: “Duration is Dead”? Who wore post-apocalyptic 1980s cinema better: Darryl Hannah, or Neil Young + DEVO? Is La Monte Young a spinning disk or a flash memory kind of guy? Why did film loop installations become art-world de rigeur as Kodak went into bankruptcy protection? What the fuck is “time-based media”? Are screensavers art? What does it mean to be "permanently preserved"? Is that even possible? Why don’t they make them like they used to? Does *it* really matter?
