Vectors is a new, international electronic journal dedicated to expanding the 
potentials of academic publication via emergent and transitional media. 
Vectors facilitates new modes of research, artistic creation and cultural 
investigation which analyze and redirect the role of the technology in an 
information-driven society.

A research initiative sponsored by USC's Institute for Multimedia Literacy, 
Vectors continues the IML's mission to explore emerging forms of scholarship, 
research and communication in multimedia. Vectors is committed to engaging 
cross-disciplinary debates surrounding the changing role of the visual and 
the aural in scholarship, media and daily life.

Vectors brings together visionary thinkers with cutting-edge designers and 
media artists to propose a thorough rethinking of the dynamic relationship 
of form to content, focusing on the ways technology shapes, transforms or 
reconfigures social and cultural relations. While not a journal about new 
media, Vectors mobilizes emerging technologies for the productive convergence 
of new ideas, forms and audiences in a global context.

The first issue of the journal will be devoted to a broad reconsideration of 
the notion of Evidence and its multiple transformations in contemporary 
scholarship and digital culture.

Issue #2 will be devoted to exploring the shifting concepts and practices of 
Mobility in contemporary culture, creatively limning the possibilities and 
limits of this concept for understanding 21st century life.
