RAVELIN is a tablet-based digital publication. The latest word in digital media, RAVELIN is an immersive environment that blurs the line between exterior and interior, object and observer, creator and consumer.
Designer Richard Agerbeek of Sweden Unlimited and artists Jon Widman and Hisham Bharoocha created RAVELIN as a space for subscribers and featured artists to explore an as yet uncharted digital medium. The mission is to bring together relevant and related artists from various fields and make the experience of their work more immediate and total by exploiting the full potential of new tablet technology.
RAVELIN takes its name from a three-sided medieval fortification, a technologically advanced structure placed on the forward side of the boundaries of the civilization that it protected. Likewise, RAVELIN, which will be published three times a year, anticipates and participates in a media landscape apart from and beyond the medium that contemporary publications exist in.
Issue two will feature work by Xavier Veilhan, Bless, Myrkur, Bibi Cornejo Borthwick, Anders Edstrom, BEEN TRILL, Leong Leong, Alex Cayley, Joanne Blades,Ryan Sawyer, Tommy Chase Lucas and Liz Wendelbo.
