Welcome to the Neighborhood.
Over the last five years, the “creator” revolution went from afterthought, to inevitable, to juggernaut. With this came a beautiful new wave of art, expression, and independent media, all emerging from the Internet.
But the whole point of being online is to be offline again. And the relationship between physical and digital spaces is one worth exploring, and interrogating.
Every week, two new essays will appear in your inbox. The first, reviewing an online piece or person that moved us. The second, sharing a place, space, or phenomenon we stumble upon in the real world.
Once a month, we’ll share an upcoming event we’re hosting—bringing together the Internet bohemians, analogue oddballs, ink-stained bookworms, and digital spelunkers.
And once a quarter, we’ll drop a new print issue of OFFLINE, covering the artists and online personalities who wield the Internet to create tangible, real-world impact.
Welcome to the neighborhood. See you offline.
