ISSUE 11: ATMOSPHERE
FALL 2023
Issue 11 was generated on land, across six states and five countries, and in the air between 3,000 and 30,000 feet. It contains 18 essays presenting unexpected perspectives on the space between Earth and outer space accompanied by visual experiments attempting nonhuman dialogues with air. In these pages you will find the air making art, water making a building, earth making sound, trees marking time, clouds unmaking borders, atmosphere becoming philosophy, a planet regulating itself, there becoming here, then becoming now.

“Air is far from empty. Our planet’s atmosphere is a dense stew that scientists are only beginning to understand. This organic brew contains viruses and bacteria and all manner of plant and animal life forms in an astonishing variety — caterpillars, spiders, aphids, butterflies, moths, beetles, mites and other invertebrates; plus countless seeds, spores and pollen, grains of fungi, algae, mosses, liverworts and flowering plants.”
