Did you know our Submissions queue opened December 1? We welcome new work for an un-themed issue to be published March 2026. Consider sending us your work today! Each one will be carefully considered by this human (@pdedgar30.bsky.social), with guaranteed decisions between Mar. 1 & 15.

For many of our issues, we've tried to speculatively graph out a plane or field that the works we've published in the issue exists on. We curate our complete issues with more than these in mind, but it's a good thought experiment to wonder about the spread of each issue. What do you think?

Did you know that the 5th Electronic Literature Collection is open for submissions? Take a look at their full guidelines at collection.eliterature.org/5!

The whole issue is out, and we want to send one more hearty "THANK YOU" to all our contributors! Included here is a photo captured during our reading on the day of the launch, which was a joy to share together. It's one thing to curate the work, another to hear them all aloud from their authors!

1 last work included in Issue4 features the work we published as our first Letter to the Editor in September, "This Poem Opposes Genocide". Not only is the work a poem in its own right, but you may run its code to generate a letter to your personal congressperson to oppose the genocide in Gaza.

I’m so thrilled to have this work published in @remediatelitmag.bsky.social !

Closing out [MachineWitness] is an ambitious code-animation by Prof. @leoflores.bsky.social, "Tiny Protests: No Kings." The 3-minute animation cycles through movements of emoji as they assemble, interact, and react to events on-screen. Visit remediatelitmag.xyz/issue4 to view the entire sequence!

Parham Ghalamdar's Zine is a remediation of an experimental short film that has shown, won, + semifinaled at a variety of festivals. Ghalamdar's work interrogates the image itself as a supposed source of power in our current political moment, asking what happens to the picture in the face of fire.

First year being included on the FISH List of Lively Literary Magazines! Check out our new issue remediatelitmag.xyz/issue4

This incredible interface invites you to query multiple comparative translations of lines of poetry in an order + language of your choice. @yalla_halim brings computational writing, machine translation, + Iraqi poet Sargon Boulus' poem "Perambulation in Exile" to your fingertips in [MachineWitness].

In this great Morse piece, D'mani Thomas writes a will and encrypts it in light, in a language spoken over wire by electricity or over air by patterned sound. We hope you'll visit Issue•4 and decode the full work!

Our long fiction piece in this issue, "Playground Vitriol," takes place entirely within a Signal chat. The characters, known only by aliases, use the machine to try to conceal themselves + try to expose + punish others. As texts fly between the users in three acts, fear + power hold hands until…

With the @chillsubs.bsky.social Best Lit Mags community vote underway (www.chillsubs.com/best-lit-mag...), I just wanted to take a second to spotlight three smaller, underrecognized indie journals/publishers, each of which are passion projects doing really quality work in their own way

One of the ways that [MachineWitness] exploits is by requiring us to consent to be seen in ways we don't know unless we read the Terms of Service. This work in Issue•4 uses one company's TOS as a medium for performance, playing with the text +off of our own [un]familiarity with the document.

Agustín Rosa's close-reading of the smartwatch makes for the perfect anaphoric piece about the sheer amount of ways that a single accessory can track + hack one's body, surroundings, and life. Read it today at remediatelitmag.xyz/issue4!

The process note got us on this one! Nour's short piece is an expression of the horror in AI-generated content, perhaps both literally + figuratively. We get a sense for AI's reach as the machine creates an image from a prompter's mind, which in turn is seared into a viewer's mind + transcribed.

As the year winds down, we'll be featuring each of our recently published pieces from [MachineWitness], beginning with this great critical essay by Cho A. We've also decided to give you a little bit of the process note from each piece (Swipe!!) so that you can see contribs' concepts + technologies!!

Issue•4 of Re•mediate, [MachineWitness], is live! We are so excited to bring you this collection of new work in line with our call for work that "captures capture," that watches our being watched watching.

HUGE THANKS TO KATHERINE PARRISH for the discussion we had over email in the lead-up to ELO 2025, and HUGE thanks to Periodicity for publishing our conversation about Computer-assisted writing and re•mediate in two parts!! Visit periodicityjournal.blogspot.com today to read :)

If you haven't read our Substack, you might have missed that we nominate for the Best of the Net, and have nominated our first Volume's contributors to the Fiction, Nonfiction, and Poetry categories! Which ones are your favorite? Congrats to other of our contributors nominated for the prize, too!

an interview with the editor of Re•mediate about the magazine, about computer-assisted writing and trying to define this, and about the writing/editing life in the age of ai

*breaks finishing line tape* *pants, sweating* *collapses* Thank you to everyone who submitted to [MachineWitness]!! In the meantime, our inbox for letters to the editor / Letters to re•mediate is always open!

Final Call! We're beginning to send out letters, lay out acceptances, and we're getting stoked for the release of our next issue!

Last in this month's transparency download! What's our publishing process like? As we close up our submission queue, what can the authors of accepted work expect from us?

Perhaps the most obvious conceptual prompt we can give a writer in the age of AI is the concept of automatic writing. What about an automatic-written prompt? Is automatic-written code vibe-coding:: automatic writing, vibe-writing? Let us know what you come up with in our subs queue, closing Nov 1!

Continuing our transparency series with the kind of budget we're working with (*laughs in year-old lit-mag run by a PhD student*). One day, we'd love to work with a larger budget and become a paying market, but we want to take every step wisely. Right now, we're just glad to be here!

If you're ever looking for another place to engage with re•mediate, especially when less screen time is healthier, you can keep in touch with us in other places! Track our submission windows in ChillSubs, read our Substack, or read our interviews with Duotrope, New Pages, and @CLMPorg.bsky.social!

Here's another prompt for your consideration! What's lost, or added, when we layer layers of diffusion and composition, tagging and description, back and forth? Our submission window is closing soon, but get experimenting and have something ready either for Issue 4 or for December when we reopen!

Last report we talked about the process notes. This time, we'll address the role positionality statements take in our submissions evaluation process! We're really grateful that the work that is submitted to re•mediate comes from all sorts of folks, and we want to responsibly publish this variety.

Now that we're a year+ old, we reaffirm our mission. Whether cultural writing practices stay the same in resistance or change, we hope our present + future readers will learn something of this moment from the work we publish + the process notes that accompany them.

In our next prompt, explore the different ways to machine-translate that are available within the languages that you're able to understand! Play around with public domain work, or re-re-re-translate your own work. If you only speak English, what other languages could this include— like music?

Submissions guidelines and acceptance criteria range wildly between literary magazines, as some of the major newsletters that cover our industry have written about at length. In this transparency report, we talk about the role that the process notes that we require take on as we make decisions!

We haven't made some transparency posts in a while, and since we're at our one-year, we think it's a good time to let our audience know the vision behind some of the things we do at remediate. There'll be a few of these this month, and our first one is about what and why we promote via social media!

This month, as our submission period comes to a close, we'll be posting a bunch of prompts we hope might inspire you as you consider sending us something along the lines of our [MachineWitness] call! Here's our first one: MachineWitness, MachineVision, MachineReVision?

Literally so stoked for this every time!!!

Our existential anxieties about the effects of AI on the human condition have been foreshadowed by previous similar aesthetic inquiries into simulated consciousness. Grammatron, by Mark Amerika, is a quarter-century-old work of net art that iterates the same themes.

Artists and humanities researchers aren't the only ones concerned about the effects of Generative AI and other automations. Organizations like Witness.Org are concerned with the authenticity of online content and the intersections of technology with human rights and climate justice.

Our reading list is always rolling and open to suggestions, but re•mediate's also acquainted with a few other really awesome lists you should check out! Katy Ilonka Gero, co-editor of Ensemble Park, and @oral-pub.bsky.social also have great reading recommendations we think you should check out!

These books from our #ReadingList , we think, both provide a strong groundings for our #MachineWitness #CallForSubmissions. One is historical, the other extremely contemporary, but both are near to the heart of our call for work that is attentive to relationship between Technology + Sight/Capture.

Our second newsletter is out today! All our goings-on are there: the new Letter to Re•mediate from @clairejamescarroll, our #MachineWitness #ReadingList, and our #BestOfTheNet nominees from Issues•0-2! <3 Getting excited after spending time with the submissions that have come in already!

Our September Newsletter is out today! Check out our Best of the Net Nominations, our first Letter to Re•mediate, and our [MachineWitness] reading list! We welcome comments, reply-letters, and other reading suggestions : ) open.substack.com/pub/remediat...

We're especially excited to share, from our #ReadingList, some critical formulations for computer-assisted writing. From @criticalai-journal.bsky.social and Dispersed Holdings @salrandolph.bsky.social, Kyle Booten's concept of Word Gyms is of definite interest to us here at re•mediate!
