====================================================
MAKE 18
live reading + music + projections from MAKE Magazine's final print edition.

For this issue of MAKE, Mad Science, we hoped to create a space for works born
of careful observation and unhindered curiosity about the natural world, these
bodies we inhabit, and the technologies that rise in our wake. Within this space,
we include work that confronts our current reality by re-imaging its limitations.
Tonight’s event features contributors to this final print issue of MAKE.
