Next year, after 80 years in print, the mainstream news magazine Newsweek goes all-digital. But the edgy, Toronto-based Creative Applications Network is moving the other way--from an authoritative art-and-technology blog to an upscale printed magazine examining the convergence of art, science, and technology.
The
new magazine, called HOLO (logo shown at left), is planned as a premium, twice-a-year,
150-to-200-page publication on high-quality stock with a cover price of
$30. Its international content
will be “dedicated to rich,
detailed stories that demand time and attention. At HOLO they are committed to
telling these stories – attentively and expertly – in a patient, spacious
medium that does them justice.”
(Profuse thanks for this poem on printing to Technology Will Save Us.)
To
help meet the new magazine’s estimated start-up production costs of $35,000,
its publishers are raising capital on Kickstarter, a
fund-sourcing Website. As of 10 o’clock this morning, with 48
hours still to go in the campaign, the new magazine has already amassed an
impressive $62,434 from 820 backers.
I can’t
wait to get my hands on their first issue.
Addendum on Friday, December 14, 2012:
As of 10 a.m. today, with 24 hours still left to go in its on-line fundraising campaign, the publication has collected $64,725 from 865 backers (185% of its $35,000 goal.)
