From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Triple Canopy is an online magazine, which published its first issue in 2008. Dedicated to "slowing down the Internet," the magazine curates and facilitates new media projects, which engage with the formal possibilities of the Internet. Its content ranges from art and literature to essays and critical theory. A nonprofit 501 c(3) organization, Triple Canopy also hosts numerous public programs, including performances, readings, and artist talks. [1]

Overview

[edit]

Founded as an editorial collective in 2007, Triple Canopy consists of a staff of writers, artists, researchers, designers, and web developers based in New York, Los Angeles, and Berlin. Published exclusively on the web, the magazine is designed to foster a prolonged engagement with online content [2]. From its presentation of substantive content in an internet-specific context, Triple Canopy has been referred to as "the sort of stuff people say is not happening on the internet." [3] The magazine takes a new media approach to publication, which recalls traditional print magazine aesthetics [4], while paying tribute to experimental forms, such as the magazine-in-a-box [5]. Book Forum described the reading experience of David Graeber's acclaimed essay from issue 10 as a combination of the immersion of print and the immediacy of the internet. [6] Triple Canopy was cited as the best new online magazine of 2008 and "the best reason to not mock new media" in The L Magazine [7]
