Styled as a pseudoscientific journal, Techno Primitivism examines manifestations of the ancient as they are mediated through contemporary technology. Issue 01 centers on evolving notions of “Anthropological Indexicality” as they relate to new imaging technologies, surveying how innate human pattern-making tendencies are interpreted through the lens of machines.
