Product Description
by Cori Hart (Editor), Cliff Hensley (Editor)
Seven Story Hotel: Issue 2 has arrived with a fresh batch of the strange, where renegade artists collide with academic theoreticians, and philosophical achievements intertwine with paranoid analysis.
Have you ever pondered the phenomenology of AI? Considered the black magic historicity of Hollywood? Reflected on the shadows cast by techno-mysticism? Imagined a post-human Marxist utopia entwined with Christ? Contemplated the relationship between black metal and 19th-century classical music? What about the future of neuro-implanted porn? Thought about what it's like to be an anarchist raised in a family that helps make bombs to drop on Gaza?
Have you ever sought joy amidst the mechanized designs of modernity?
In 7SH2, experience interviews, critical essays, poetry, creative nonfiction, and flash fiction from some of our generation's most unique voices in the vital niches of subculture, interlaced with beautiful full-color visuals from a bevy of outsider artists. Each contribution offers a portal to profound questions and unexpected insights, woven together in a way that reads more like a non-linear, multi-modal novel-an aesthetic labyrinth crafted from unconventional narratives and fleeting glimpses of spiritual revelation.
Issue 2 features interviews of Jasun Horsley; Georgina Rose; and Haela Hunt-Hendrix of transcendental metal icons Liturgy. Essays, poetry, and fiction from Cori Hart, Catherine McGuire, Kristen Phillips, Henry Luzzatto, Sasha Serge, C.N. Jaimes, Matthew Pettefer, Christopher Michael, Francis K., Anna K. Winters, and Lorraine Schein. And, as always, striking full color, black-and-white, and collage art from a plethora of talented visual artists, this time featuring the works of John T Allen, Laura Benson, Caleb Butcher, Jonah Campos, Ed Capos, Davor Gromilovic, Haela Hunt-Hendrix, Cam Jennings, Steve Latta, Sven Loven, Jake Robertson, Emma Stern, Paul van Trigt, and Amanda Yskamp.
