ISSUE Nº 10
To happen/To unhappen
Following Reality Check, an exploration of expectation, belief, and the fragmentation of reality into multiple, often conflicting perspectives, System of Situations takes the images from the previous issue as its starting point and throws them into a new set of circumstances. Through collage, these images collide with a myriad of everyday events, absurd situations, and ordinary observations, producing unexpected associations and deviations from their original meanings. This tenth issue is an experiment in progress. Its pages will be cooked over the coming week, allowing chance, interference, and improvisation to shape the final publication. For now, only the front and back covers are available. The complete issue will be released in print and available for purchase once the process is finished.

ISSUE Nº 9
To believe/To discredit
The ninth issue of THE-ICONOMIST, titled Reality-Check, explores the fragmentation of shared reality in an era of continuous image circulation. Moving from a relatively common visual culture toward a polyculture of personalized information, the issue reflects on how images no longer simply represent the world, but increasingly anticipate, organize, and condition our experience of it. Events arrive through different screens, at different times, producing overlapping yet often incompatible versions of the same reality. The issue unfolds as a provisional assembly of disconnected realities, where every image suggests another possible connection and every act of looking becomes a way of inhabiting the world.
