A BODY IN THE FORM OF A PLANET
Stars unknowable as the mites in the dirt. The breath I breathe inhaled by the Earth around me. Macro/micro dichotomies – between cosmic incomprehensibility and subatomic weirdness – meld into a single river. “The science of one age eventually becomes the mythology of the next.” As above, so below.
CODE 03 : A Body in the Form of a Planet examines – over more than 300 pages and in a dizzying ascent of scientific, artistic and philosophical voices – the tension in distinguishing between what is currently understood and what is as yet unknown. Amidst an array of fashion editorials, think-pieces, poetry, philosophy, science, astrological history and high-concept performance art, contributors such as: Arca; Dorion Sagan; Dr. Sarah Pearson; Female Pentimento; Jenna Sutela; Cru Encarnação; Hendrik Schneider; Dylan Van Roost; Max Lange; Samuel Guerrero; Bridget Hamel; the Amazonian Kichwa of Sarayaku; and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory individually and collectively interrogate where the lines between shadow and light, cosmic and microscopic, magic and science blur.

LIFE IS DEATH IS LIFE
A collection of artist's images, fashion editorials, interviews and raw explorations of the liminal spaces between one death and another life, CODE 02: "Life is Death is Life" is a whirlpool in the flowing river, a cathedral window that changes in light. A cave-dive into and collective meditation on the "beauty in letting something die", this issue of the annual magazine features works from and conversations with Dr. Michael Hoch at Cern, Black Quantum Futurism, Karinne Smith, Tianzhuo Chen, Aaron Sanchez, Eugene Yiu Nam Cheung and more.
