Relaunch of Limn
Limn is back!
After a brief hiatus, Limn is returning with new projects and a fresh editorial team. We need your help!
Limn 2.0 will continue to approach contemporary problems from oblique and surprising angles. It will remain free and open access online and have beautiful print issues for sale. Limn will remain a not-for-profit, not-just-scholarly journal. We are working to make it more accessible, sustainable, and legible to a wide range of readers.
To make this happen, we aim to raise $20,000 to support our rebooting costs and the first year of operation.
Provided we can meet this goal, Limn 11—The Obsolescence Issue will be released in November of 2024. Subsequent issues (now in the works) will follow soon thereafter.
Thank you for your support!

Prototyping Prototyping: a pre-conference publication
A publication organized prior to the conference and constructed in time (though only barely) to circulate there. For some, this experiment provided a way to reflect on the relationship of presentation and writing, and the ways that conferences structure and circulate expectations about what kind of work can and should be done there, as opposed… Read more »

Alberto Corsín Jiménez & Adolfo Estalella, CSIC, Spanish National Research Council When drafting the original call for papers that led to the ‘Prototyping cultures’ conference, we noted that the figure of the ‘prototype’ had recently emerged as a currency of explanation and description in a number of para-laboratory contexts: from classical industrial and engineering sites… Read more »
