Here’s a bit about us:
Our successes in 2011-2012:

We edited two crowd funded print volumes featuring artists from several continents (countries include Brazil, England, India, Ireland, Korea, Japan, Mexico, Oman, United States, Uruguay).  
Volume 1.1 featured cover design by Amanda Lovelee and was designed and edited by Beth Boettcher.  

We have edited monthly multimedia issues on www.certaincircuits.org.
We curated two exhibitions and several film screenings of international artists in Philadelphia (Eris Temple Artspace, iMPeRFeCT GaLLeRY, the Rotunda, Flying Carpet Cafe, Flying Kite Gallery). 

We taught multimedia creative writing workshops (Big Blue Marble Bookstore, Eris Temple Artspace).

We organized two successful multimedia book launches (the Rotunda, Flying Carpet Cafe).

Our 2.1 book was acquisitioned into National Library of Australia and was part of an exhibition in Waterloo, Australia at the Brenda May Gallery.  
Congratulations to 2.1 cover artist Kevin Von Holtermann, back cover artist David Hewitt, our talented designer Jim Tuite, and all contributors for these tremendous accomplishments.
We nominated contributors for Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize.
