THE BRUISE MAGAZINE
NEEDS YOU!
COME PLAY!
The Bruise is an interdisciplinary, collaborative research and production environment that will explore the intersections between art, sound, interactivity, intermedia and virtual space. The Bruise is your friendly open armed contusion, your fibrous abundant quota. We go 50-50 with you. We seek to share, support and exchange ideas, images, sounds in the spirit of the FREE CULTURE - The mission of the Free Culture movement is to build a bottom-up, participatory structure to society and culture, rather than a top-down, closed, proprietary structure. A good example is the current "open source" development. What is posted on The Bruise will never be for sale or valued monetarily within the planned economy. The Bruise wants your to participate and help establish in a different paradigm - New World Economy, one that supports the nurturing of a sustainable ecology, human rights, and a culture not rooted in domination, egotism, and competition.
The Bruise wants to become a source of sharing for you.
We invite you to support, participate and submit projects that allow for positive development. The Bruise hopes to have many participants involved in the experiment, feel free to submit and collaborate.
The Bruise Magazine began as a collaborative effort between designers Mark Shepherd and Briana Bolger. It was our desire to see the raw, pulpy but forgiving Bruise grow bigger and stronger than any contusion known to man or beast. The Bruise is not the result of a violent act, nor is it the blackening area of living tissue.
We are The Bruise.
Our goal is to soften and rekindle, share and share alike in a network of obscene abundance. The Bruise is not a new idea. It is not a growing cult.
Fluxus member Dick Higgins may have stated all this better way back in 1966." Could it be that the central problem of the next ten years or so, for all artists in all possible forms, is going to be less the still further discovery of new media and intermedia, but of the new discovery of ways to use what we care about both appropriately and explicitly?"
