ISSUE 4: UNDER THE SCRAMBLE SUIT

Fall 2024

Edited By: Edward Jiaolin Yu and Zahra Safaverdi

“The real is saturated with the spaces of projection, possibility, and the new that we now designate as virtual in order to keep them contained behind the glassy smoothness of the computer screen. My computer makes this clear to me, although if I had thought more carefully about the strangeness of writing, of inscription, I would have seen the virtual there too, just as rich and rife with potential as cyberspace itself. The virtual reality of computer space is fundamentally no different from the virtual reality of writing, reading, drawing, or even thinking: the virtual is the space of emergence of the new, the unthought, the unrealized, which at every moment loads the presence of the present with supplementarity, redoubling a world through parallel universes, universes that might have been.” Elizabeth A. Grosz
