creative interventions in the field of online and algorithmic landscapes.
Rather than institutional forms and the voices of established theorists, <i>multithread </i>promotes
the emerging perspectives of critical observers who address the topic of the
contemporary socio-technological condition, moving beyond academic rigor as the
dominant framework, while remaining in dialogue with leading-edge discourse.</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:115%"><font face="times new roman, serif">The series, edited by Lea Sande and
Ema Maznik Antić, is aimed at experimental and interdisciplinary writing,
embracing a heterogeneity of approaches, languages, and registers. It allows
for critical exploration and research, encouraging contributions ranging from
speculative fiction to systematic analysis, including critical and political
theory, philosophy, art and media studies.</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:115%"><font face="times new roman, serif">Conceived as a meeting ground for
emerging imaginaries and new voices, the series probes the tensions between
technology, imagination, and society, illuminating both innovative currents of
thought and the authors shaping them.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:115%"><font face="times new roman, serif">With an expected frequency of four
issues per year, <i>multithread </i>is published in a pocket format
with colour images. Each issue includes an afterword by an established author
that expands on the central topic, situates it within a broader discursive
context, and delves into the responses articulated in the main text.</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:115%"><font face="times new roman, serif">T<i>he Blue Flower Syndrome</i> is
a discussion on palatability, power and computation encoded in a single rushed
train _[of thought] // [commute]_ to an interview on a Dutch iris farm. Blending
autofiction, media theory and myth, it traces the entanglements between
public-facing interfaces, machinic mathematics and the data that fuels them.
The work reveals how life as a product of purely probabilistic and statistical
decisions expresses and roots itself through both our daily essentials, such as
clothes and food, as well as historical practices and technologies that shaped
them. In the afterword, <b><a href="https://aksioma.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1ae755fe8a8dbe61fc37d4622&id=c8f2b24fa8&e=b2b01b8bf8" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(70,120,134)"><span style="font-weight:normal">Metahaven</span></a> </b>expands
on the text by outlining influence design – a project in which computation
operates as an ideological carrier – placing The Blue Flower Syndrome within a
contemporary media landscape read through a historical-materialist lens.</font></p>
