Volume 4 (2011) kaleidoscopic point
The art, literature, and comics in this issue deal with the kaleidoscopic point in varying terms and forms of vectors and collisions. Historian Julian Chambliss defines kaleidoscopic point as—
. . . a space where myriad lines of sociocultural practice come together to create our contemporary now. The kaleidoscopic point can be imagined as a means by which modernity infuses into the societal collective the belief that change, both natural and manmade, posits a future in a state of perpetual malleability.
