About The Journal
The journal publishes two new issues per year. Each issue features projects created by teams of fellows from a range of disciplines working together with technologists, creative directors and other scholars.
Vectors' mission is to publish material that can't be published in print utilizing cutting-edge tools and work processes. As the journal's about page describes,
This investigation at the intersection of technology and culture is not simply thematic. Rather, Vectors is realized in multimedia, melding form and content to enact a second-order examination of the mediation of everyday life. Using a peer-reviewed format and under the guidance of an international board, Vectors features submissions and specially-commissioned works composed of moving- and still-images; voice, music, and sound; computational and interactive structures; social software; and much more.
Projects included in Vectors investigate diverse topics including evidence, indigenous communities, women's prisons, land use, war, and worker's rights. Many projects are produced by a team that includes a Vectors staff member. Other's are created externally and chosen for inclusion.

Famous quotes containing the word journal:
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
