Visible Binary is a zine for spells, codes, acrostics, aphorisms, and other experiments in writing; we like sound art and sci-fi micro-fictions, drawings, visual poems, collages, and digital films; we think among translations, and field recordings, and graffiti; we future towards sense-maps, documents of performance, earth-poems, and water, messages from utopia/dystopia, telepathies, and texts otherwise & elsewhere.
