New-media art Random magazine quits, but it is still online. Ten years of publications have been condensed in a book you can buy or freely download.
Random, by Valentina Tanni, wants to celebrate the ten years of an online magazine that became part of the history of contemporary art publishing in Italy. Born in 2001, Random Magazine evolved in the following years into the main information platform about art and new technologies available in Italy. The book collects a wide selection of news, together with a smaller selection of articles and reviews that document the pioneering critical activity developed by its author along the same years. As Valentina Tanni writes in the introduction: «This book came unexpected. It appeared suddenly, just like necessities do. More than a book, it’s a record, an historical document. It brings together a series of heterogeneous texts written during ten years of study, research and dissemination. If I had to pick up a definition, I would say it’s a fragmentary chronicle of the origins of my own passion for new media art.»
