translated into english by Dubravka Djuric
Internet magazine for literature and media art "The Muse Apprentice Guild" in its first issue presents many prose, and poetry works, essays, but also the important multimedia works Writes Elektronic magazines are not rare and on the Internet there are thousand of them covering different fields. Art also has its special magazines all over the world, that never appear in printed version, but they have many online readers. The advantage of these are multiple: relatively cheap process of publishing and distribuing, abailability on all continents and in short period of time, flexibility that permits fast, daily change and adding in content, multimediality with possibility to enrich pages of the magazine by movable images and sound, and, finally, with interactivity by which a reader is capable in direct contact to react regarding the offered material and to effect its additional shaping, adding, and even the work of the editorial borad.
And although there are so many concepts on which the electronic publications are based, so we could have an impression that all possibilities are worn out, thanks to the individuality of the founder and creator of an online magazine, and this could be absolutely everybody who wishes it, without any restrictions and boundaries, the attraction of electronic magazines is still in its freshness and independency. This is the case with the newly established "The Muse Apprentice Guild" (Udruženje muzinih šegrta), or shortly "MAG" which first issue has just appearedthese days on the http://www.muse-apprentice-guild.com/. Its editor in chief August Highland in his introduction notes that "MAG" is open to all writers and new media aertists, and that his mark in literary world would like to accentuate by giving the access to the broader cirsle of different voices, in the spirit of the development of 21 century. The genres that "MAG" publishes are poetry,prose, hypertext, essays, critics, interviews, digital visuel and multimedia pieces, which is extraordinary broad field of creation. This issue of the magazine brings the works of more than 50 authors, mostly englesh speaking, authors from USA and from Europe, who write in the already mentioned genres and creative disciplines. Mostly there are prose texts, essays, but there are very interesting postry, even few exhamples of visual play with letters and interpunction. Among them we will notice well known American essayist, theoretician of postmodernism, and prose writer Lance Olsen, then well known poet from Pensylvania Ron Silliman, as well as Bruklin theoretician of cyberculture Alan Sondheim. Marjorie Luisenbrink well known author of hypermedia short stories has an interesting play of images and verses "Pomracenje u Luizijani", ans with similar procedures write Linda Carolli and Lisa Bloomfeild. But the most attractive and most complex media work in this issue is the work by Doll Yoko (pseudonim of the movie and video artist Francesca da Rimini) "Liquid Nation with the sequence of poetic images of children and toys, and documentary images of cruel world events with engaging textual commentaries, dealing specially with media mass manipulations, by which the strong effect of experiencing the contemporary civilization. This electronic internet magazine has many pleasurable surprices for every taste and the level of creative ambitions and the deadline for sending the contributions for the next issue of "MAG" is the beginnging of the November.
