Technophany 2026 General Issue: First Articles Now Published

Technophany is pleased to announce the publication of the first articles in its 2026 General Issue, with further contributions to be released on a rolling basis throughout the issue cycle.

The articles published so far engage a wide range of contemporary questions in the philosophy of technology, media theory, political thought, and technics.

The issue currently includes Dominykas Barusevičius’s “On Relational Memory through Archaeology, Technics, and Organization,” which develops a relational conception of memory through Baltic computational mnemonic techniques and the philosophy of archaeology; Frédéric Neyrat’s “Recourse to the Stars,” a philosophical intervention on authoritarian technologies, technofascism, cosmological freedom, and the planetary condition; Bart Gulden’s critical engagement with Yuk Hui’s cosmotechnical thinking and the problem of technodiversity; and Bo Kampmann Walther’s “Is The Universal Turing Machine a Capitalist Super-Machine?”, which examines capitalism through digital physics, Marxist theory, and computational paradigms.

The issue also features a review by Alan Diaz Alva of David W. Bates’s An Artificial History of Natural Intelligence: Thinking With Machines From Descartes to The Digital Age, examining the relation between automaticity, intelligence, and disruption.

Together, these contributions address questions of memory, computation, cosmology, technodiversity, capitalism, artificial intelligence, and planetary existence across contemporary technological culture.

The 2026 General Issue remains open, and additional articles and reviews will continue to appear over the coming months.
