Issue #∞: Forever

Forever is the theme of INCITE Journal of Experimental Medias sixth issue. In contemporary economies of immediacy and connectivity what is temporalitys role and relevance other than as a force to be exploded? Why are LPs and film reels and tapes and optical discs and iPod menu buttons all circular? What does it mean to wait 8 hours in line to see Marclays The Clock? Why does Hollis Frampton scholar Clint Enns claim: Duration is Dead? Who wore post-apocalyptic 1980s cinema better: Darryl Hannah or Neil Young + DEVO? Is La Monte Young a spinning disk or a flash memory kind of guy? Why did film loop installations become art-world de rigeur as Kodak went into bankruptcy protection? What the fuck is time-based media? Are screensavers art? What does it mean to be permanently preserved? Is that even possible? Why dont they make them like they used to? Does *it* really matter?
