Matthew Battles, shown at work here, may continue to produce the series BESTIARY, which offers idiosyncratic investigations into how animals show up in human culture. He’s recently started a new job, which has treed him for the moment….
Peggy Nelson, shown at work here, may continue to investigate art and the virtual life through her two irregular series EYE CANDY and SIMULACRA. She has been busy with other projects since November, so we’ll see….
In May MIT Press’s RADIUM AGE series (edited by HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn) will publish E.V. Odle’s The Clockwork Man (1923, with new introduction by Annalee Newitz) and H.G. Wells’ The World Set Free (1914, with new introduction by Sarah Cole).

Earlier this month, we kicked off a series by HILOBROW friend Mark Ramos Nishita, aka Money Mark. ISOLATION JAMS features a curated selection of “little vignettes of potent sound, sound poems, noise or melody” that Mark posted to Instagram in 2020 — to help us through the first COVID lockdown. The series will continue into 2Q2022.
In January, HILOBROW’s series BESTIARY published a four-part installment — on the subject of 20th-century anthropomorphized pop-culture frogs. During 2Q2022, we’ll publish three offshoots: HYPNOTIC FROGS | FRIGHTENING FROGS | MUSICAL FROGS.
& other curated series TBA!
On to 2Q2022…
