Techno Primitivism, Issue 01,
 2024
Styled as a pseudoscientific journal, Techno Primitivism examines manifestations of the ancient as they are mediated through contemporary technology. Issue 01 centers on evolving notions of “Anthropological Indexicality” as they relate to new imaging technologies, surveying how innate human pattern-making tendencies are interpreted through the lens of machines. Referencing the enigmatic symbology of petroglyphs, an essay accompanies a combination of found and constructed imagery, suggesting a pictorial lineage between antiquity and modernity
