What is Vexations?
March 9, 2025
It’s mechanical, and proud of it. Listen to that engine purr. We offer it all, from pure mathematical beauty to the slapdash comfort of duct tape and string.
It repeats. The grounding of a four on the floor kick, the steady chugging of a train on tracks, the constant rotation of a blade slicing pasta. Factory fiction for the on-demand age.
It’s omnivorous. We’re hungry monsters, and we’re not too picky to eat trash. It all blends the same, so drink up, baby.
It’s open. If you’ve got nothing but your secret technique, you’re dust in the wind. Everything from skin on down is available for your perusal.
It’s growing. With each new machine comes mastery of another technique, another square inch conquered. A tower to the heavens built one brick at a time.
It’s consistent. Every issue contains a poem, a horoscope, and a cutting-edge CompuNovella. Our promise to you.
Vexations issue #1 coming March 16, 2025.
