SCREENSHOTS is a monthly series of posts via which HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn reviews his most recent screenshots — before deleting them from the over-full Dropbox folder to which they’d been uploaded. Also see the PHOTO DUMP series.
Continuing to trace connections between Radium Age art and science fiction, even though the RADIUM AGE ART series is now complete. Apparently, I’m not finished with the topic…
Shown here: Hilma af Klint’s “The Swan, No. 17” was used as the cover art for Patrick Allington’s 2020 post-apocalyptic sf novel Rise & Shine. (He wrote an essay about the painting here.)
Continuing to interview semioticians from around the world for the SEMIOVOX series MAKING SENSE.
Extracting a poem — for the RADIUM AGE POETRY series, here at HILOBROW — from an age-browned edition of Olaf Stapledon’s 1932 proto-sf novel Last Men in London (via the Internet Archive). I’ve already scheduled a poem for every five days from now through the middle of 2027, yet I keep finding more….
Editing PHOTO OP, a series — by the global community of commercial semioticians — that will begin to appear at SEMIOVOX in the spring. Detail of a photo by Gabriela Pedranti (Spain / Argentina).
Working on a series of posts about the semiotic codes of Casablanca, for our sister website SEMIOVOX.
Detail from a print by Lawry Hutcheson, for the HILOBROW series LINOCUT 2024.
Researching proto-sf plays, poems, stories, and novels by African American authors, c. 1900–1935. For an upcoming MIT Press project, hopefully.
