Title
TEKKAlogue: a chronicle of innovative new media
Description
The technical press seems to be obsessed with money: great software is whatever sells ad space and trade show booths. The remnants of the old new economy produce chiefly press releases. The first artistically-successful hypertexts are almost 15 years old (and still very much in print), and they've inspired an impressive array of books, essays, articles, and dissertations, but a generation of talented young scholars finds itself with no place to publish. Criticism has stalled, and critical standards are dismal.
We're seizing this moment, inauspicious as it may seem, to launch Tekka, a new Web magazine about enjoying new media and creating beautiful software. Tekka is serious reading, for serious readers. No kid stuff, no management fluff. As we edit Tekka, we're going to assume that our readers are smart, talented, resourceful. If you need to build a program or start a company, you can make it happen. You need the ideas and the tools, not the press releases. You want to be provoked into thinking about digital culture -- you don't want a consumer report for the latest multimedia CD.
You want to know what to build, not what to buy. And, most of all, you want to know what makes software beautiful, and what makes new media inspire and delight.
