This first issue tackles the versatility of the interface in five preliminary and deeply interlinked sections: PROGRAMMATIC, where approaches for the analysis and production of interfaces are developed. GENEALOGIES, where the histories, origins and predecessors of current interfaces are investigated. PHILOSOPHIES, where conceptual and metaphysical assumptions of informatics and the interface are discussed. PROJECTS, where concrete engineering and artistic practices engaging with interfaces are presented. POLITICS, where the social relevance and implications of interfaces are highlighted.
