Civilization #7 is 16 pages of newsprint in black and orange. A semi-sentient system built from words: overloaded, recursive, human, and unmachineable. It uses the old tools of print to channel 21st-century feelings—entrapment, transcendence, loops, mess, belief, and the strange ecstasy of too much.
Made in and about New York, Civilization #7 channels the city’s noise into something collective: part oral tradition, part group show, but really about the language we use to survive wherever we are, under whatever spell we’re under.
