KINFOLK (Quarterly): Vol. 42
 |
Description
Book Introduction
In 2001, futurist Ray Kurzweil wrote in an essay:
“The progress we will experience in the 21st century will not be like 100 years of progress, but like 20,000 years of progress.” In this age of rapid change, technology-themed magazines risk becoming obsolete before they even hit the shelves.
Rather than celebrating current innovations, Kinfolk Issue 42 focuses on the systems and philosophies that underpin new technologies, from the philosophies of Silicon Valley to the arcane rules of algorithms.
The thematic section begins with Anna Winner.
Her memoir, Uncanny Valley (Caracal, 2021), details her time among the people who make up Big Tech.
On page 157, we speak anonymously to influencers on Instagram and hear their honest thoughts about the good, the bad, and the ridiculous aspects of influencer life.
Rage Against the Machine (P.
166) Tom Faber talks to experts to better understand algorithmic biases.
If you're looking for a place to start, we suggest starting with the 'Starter' section.
Here are some short essays on the cult of busyness, the meaning of dreams, and how to leave the perfect out-of-office response message.
Despite the excitement of technology, we thank you for reading our paper magazine, and we hope you enjoy this issue.

Publisher's Review
Large, emotionally stimulating photographs, ample margins, simple and sophisticated fonts, and small episodes of everyday life…
Kinfolk is different from the traditional magazines filled with photos of models in fancy clothes and dense advertisements.
Rather than promoting the value of luxury goods, they deal with the simple stories of life in a new way.
'KINFOLK' means relatives or close people.
In Portland, Oregon, a diverse group of writers, farmers, photographers, designers, chefs, florists, and more have begun sharing stories that inspire life.
Many people who are fascinated by this have gathered here, and now it has become a large community, and even a new word, 'Kinfolk', has been coined, making it a cultural phenomenon.
The theme of the 2021 Kinfolk Winter issue is 'technology.'
This issue covers the systems and philosophies that underpin ultra-fast-changing technologies.
Can we navigate this fast-paced world slowly?
Photographer Michael Oliver Love's fashion essay imagines the singularity that Kurzweil believes the rapid acceleration of technological revolution will bring: a moment when technological change becomes impossible to control or reverse.
On page 104, London-based Erzen Chang, who became a dumpling superstar, creates gallery-worthy sculptures from dough, while on page 60, stylist and photographer Don Lee creates dazzling lights from gelatin.
It would be foolish to simply suggest turning off your smartphone.
Kin Folk shares our attempts to connect what we've missed and what hasn't been connected in the speed of light.
