February 15th, 2010I’m psyched to be involved in this project. Issue 12 of Megawords is 48 pages in full color, featuring photography from Megawords, Zoe Strauss, Adam Wallacavage, Micah Danges, John Taylor, Mike Levy and Kathryn Murphy.
What is megawords you might ask?
Answer- Megawords is a non-commercial record of place and human experience.
Our mission is simple: to document our surroundings, experience, to have a voice free from the noise of commercialization and competing novelties, and to create an open and active dialogue between Megawords and the community at large. We have self-published eleven free issues, broadcast a weekly internet radio show, and organized multiple events and performances under the banner of Megawords. With time came positive feedback from a diverse audience and a strong realization that this project had a profound impact.
Through the magazine, we have worked with a number of intriguing artists, photographers, designers, writers and creative people in a collaborative and direct manner. Each issue has its own aura and direction, yet remains integral to the Megawords aesthetic and mission. A new context for the allocated and appropriated images and ideas coming from our contributors and ourselves is created, and in turn a unique and timely outlook on society and our time is presented. Megawords continues to be an experiment in contemporary media and communication, and strives to provide a relevant and critical contribution to the art of our time.
