Opening on the horizontal:
Blackflash reconfigures

Blackflash, the cutting edge media arts and photography magazine from Saskatoon, has "reconfigured" itself for its next issue, due on stands within the next week or so, to a horizontal format. For a magazine as aggressively and boldly visual as this, it seems a logical step. It's one of 3 issues in the magazine's 25th anniversary season.

The forthcoming issue (25.2) focusses on the concepts of ‘site’ and includes artists who have in common "discursive" art practices that integrate photography (what Blackflash likes to call "lens") and digital technology, the web, animation, sound, music (DJ/VJ), film and mass media.
"All make reference to the collective and social specificities of site while calling on the human impulse to document our social environments and capture both the ordinary and the political through poetic and publicly accessible meditations on the public and geographical spaces that we inhabit." said editor Lissa Robinson in a release
