Fall 2024: Personal Time Capsule

Cover Image

Welcome to "Personal Time Capsule," the Fall 2024 issue of Stylus. This issue asks what do we wish to preserve & archive? What ultimately lasts & what fades away?

This issue is intentionally structured as a series of files, offering the digital equivalent of sifting through various materials in a physical time capsule. You don't know what you'll encounter, but that's part of the experience.

In homage to the time capsule theme, this issue is also housed at the Internet Archive, the closest thing the internet has to a Library of Alexandria. In that archived version, the issue is available as a downloadable zip file.

Here is a short video that inventories the materials in the capsule.

To access the capsule of materials, click on the button below. Each time you click on the button, you will be randomly brought to a different submission. Quick note: if a submission doesn't include the artist's name directly, their name can be found by looking at the tail-end of the URL.
