Vague Terrain

As stated in our project history Vague Terrain was launched in 2005 and we have published more than a dozen issues of our digital arts journal. Initially conceived of as a quarterly publication, we have recently decided to proceed in a more casual manner, emphasizing quality over adherence to a strict schedule. Unless otherwise noted, the issues below have all been curated and edited by Neil Wiernik, Corina MacDonald and Greg J. Smith. As evidenced below, recent issues of the journal have primarily been programmed by guest curators.
