We're really excited to start off Volume•3 with a bang, just as we did with Volume•2, when we had @digitalpoetics.bsky.social as a Guest Editor for [Next Realities]! We're just putting together our call for submissions and some materials, and we'll be back asap!
Another reading in the books! Thank you to all our contributors, both those who were able to come celebrate and those who were traveling <3 We're so glad to get a little time with you to experience these pieces again!
In our latest newsletter, we reflect on the way we balance receiving interactive, coded, + machine-generated submissions w/ those that are composed under more traditional + analog practices. Our mission is to feature computer-assisted work, but not to take pieces that all read the same way.
This month we're doing our reading AFTER the launch of the new issue, to give you time to read and reflect and come ready with questions for our authors ! Will you join us Saturday? Comment "volcano" for us to send you the link!
WERE HAVING A READIN THIS SATURDAY! DM ME ‘VOLCANO’ for the link!
Our whole Issue•5 is now out on Instagram, where you can see the lava lake of Volcan Masaya in the background. All of our covers are real photos that I took, not AI-generated images!
OVERWHELMED!! Right when we released Issue•5, we hit 1000 followers, and we just want to say thank you for following along, whether you joined us this issue or in August of 2024 before Issue•0 came out! What's been your favorite issue so far?
In this last interactive piece we're featuring in Issue•5, activate your camera for face tracking so that you can inter-face ;) with the poetry in Katerina Magarini's work!

We really love this short story in Issue•5, that considers the long future of AI companionship and the generational changes and differences that might play out. Thanks to Kevin G Smith for this piece!
Be sure to visit remediatelitmag.xyz/issue5 to read @jwyg.bsky.social's full zine with a bunch of computer-generated poetry composed from fragments of open-source books at Project Gutenberg!
Another interactive piece in Issue•5 is Arden Schager's incredible interface piece that composts data from webpages you suggest and creates roots and flowers with the content! Visit it today at remediatelitmag.xyz/issue5 or through our bio!
@veekennedy.bsky.social's new piece in Issue•5 of remediatelitmag.xyz pushes Microsoft Word to its absolute limit, with reversed text, overset text, word art, foreground/backgrounding mu and a speaker's experience across a 6-page zine. Read it today!
We're enamored by the ASCII art generated between jiaoyang and Gemini : check out two other characters and an entire garden structure in the main piece, as well as their reflection on the structuring and pruning they did in their process note! Read it at remediatelitmag.xyz/issue5
We've been holding onto this piece for a while and are so glad it's finally out! Along with this great short story, @persica also includes some gorgeous digital art based on the 'autoglyph' concept. Immerse yourself today at remediatelitmag.xyz/issue5!
We especially love when code-based and animated work is interactive in some way— in Harshit Singh's "Patchnotes," the poem rebukes any human interrupting its composition! Each refresh of the page will yield a refresh of the poem, too, so experience it for yourself today at remediatelitmag.xyz/issue5
In our new issue, our contributors run the gamut with all sorts of computer-based and computer-assisted writing. Even some of our most traditional-looking pieces, like Wendy Schaffer's poem here, were ideated alongside tools like Claude, though never entirely written with generative AI.
Our new issue is live!! Go read and interact with remediatelitmag.xyz/issue5 today!!
coming soon……… take a sneak peek at our new issue tomorrow!
Thanks to everyone who got their submissions in! As you wait for the next issue to come out in a couple of weeks, check out the pieces we published in [MachineWitness] in the Fall!
Thank you SO much for submitting to the new issue of Re•mediate! This is us signing off to go look at your last submissions and make decisions, so keep an eye on your inbox! our turnaround from acceptance to publication is less than 2 weeks!
Submissions close after only two days! Every issue so far, a choice between two really good pieces has come down to whether the process notes included with the works are helpful or underdeveloped. Here's tips to help you write a process note that doesn't just comply with submission guidelines!
I read every submission, reply to every one by hand, and just want to say thank you for submitting, for reading, and for reacting. Hope to meet you at a future issue launch reading!
every other issue I do a little intro for our new followers! I'm @pdedgar30.bsky.social ; I edit re•mediate and bring on guest editors every so often. I started the lit mag right as I was starting my PhD, and I describe my work with this journal now as an experiment in research-creation!
our time is running out! one week before our last day to submit. DM us if you have a question on about your work or about Re•mediate !
A big part of the curation process for me (P.D.) is balancing creative work as is with the process note that will accompany it. I don't really care for work that's entirely AI-Generated if the writer who submitted it can't engage well with the "How?" and "Why?" questions we all are asking!
👀
We regularly take a both-and stance towards AI+, and we invite our readers to be critical in their art making, and artful in critique.
Time runs short for submissions to Issue•5 of re•mediate! It's been a while, and since we're just running a general submission call right now, we wanted to return to the root mission of this mag, which has only been slightly reworded since we first wrote it in 2024!
Our Newsletter comes out today! Take a look at the new Letter to the Editor that has been published at remediatelitmag.xyz/letters, a guest post from Max, the "iterator-in-chief" of The Fathoms, a publication that AI-edits AI-exclusive writing. I've also provided my own reflections in an Ed. Note!
