Description

Issue four – largest so far – looks at the spaces around us as though they were pieces of technology, as devices, as ‘Black Boxes.’ The concept of the ‘Black Box’ emerged in the 1940‘s referring to technology which can’t be understood easily, or understood at all due to its complexity.
