(I apologize in advance for the course language in my lead paragraph. But, I’m just that excited.)
If the first issue of Incite! kicked ass — and it did — then the second issue, which was just released, kicks major ass.
Subtitled The Journal of Experimental Media and Radical Aesthetics, the second, compact but bursting with ideas, edition focuses specifically on notions of remixing media and the function of archives to fuel new artists’ work. Editor Brett Kashmere, who already did a phenomenal job on the first issue, tops himself here with a much more cohesive set of articles.
What’s most engaging about Incite! is that it straddles the aesthetics of serious art journal and fan magazine. What really comes out through the pieces is just how passionate the authors are about their subjects, whether it’s one filmmaker interviewing another filmmaker that they admire, or the dissection of a particular filmmaker’s work,...

Incite! is billed as the Journal of Experimental Media & Radical Aesthetics, so it’s a kindred spirit to Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film. Incite! exists as an online journal as well as having a actual 147-page printed edition.

The articles for the first issue of Incite! are on the longish side, so, for me personally, they make for better reading on paper, which is why I was so thrilled to get a copy.
