multithread is a new editorial series by Aksioma – Institute for Contemporary Art, Ljubljana, edited by Lea Sande and Ema Maznik Antić, focusing primarily on artistic and creative interventions in the field of online and algorithmic landscapes. Rather than institutional forms and the voices of established theorists, multithread promotes the emerging perspectives of critical observers who address the topic of the contemporary socio-technological condition, moving beyond academic rigor as the dominant framework, while remaining in dialogue with leading-edge discourse.

The series is aimed at experimental and interdisciplinary writing, embracing a heterogeneity of approaches, languages, and registers. It allows for critical exploration and research, encouraging contributions ranging from speculative fiction to systematic analysis, including critical and political theory, philosophy, art and media studies.

Conceived as a meeting ground for emerging imaginaries and new voices, the series probes the tensions between technology, imagination, and society, illuminating both innovative currents of thought and the authors shaping them.

With an expected frequency of four issues per year, multithread is published in a pocket format with colour images. Each issue includes an afterword by an established author that expands on the central topic, situates it within a broader discursive context, and delves into the responses articulated in the main text.

During the event, designer, artist and researcher Benze De Ream, author of The Blue Flower Syndrome, the inaugural essay of this new series, will present his work and then engage in conversation Lea Sande and Ema Maznik Antić. The two editors of multithread will take the opportunity to explain to the public what needs this editorial line responds to, what its visions and aspirations are, who it is aimed at, both in terms of contributors and readers, and how they intend to develop it in the near future.
