e-flux Index #4

e-flux Index is a quarterly print publication that sets out to untangle the mess of the contemporary. Index is unique for its remit, bringing together art and film theory, philosophy, architecture, and criticism under the same mantle. It’s also unique in its scale: each issue is around 560 pages. Each edition of the Index brings into dialogue commissioned essays, reviews, and articles drawn from the five separate e-flux sections: e-flux Architecture, e-flux Criticism, e-flux Education, e-flux Journal, and e-flux Notes.

Following the success of the first three issues, Index #4 features e-flux’s commissioned pieces from June–July 2024. It includes contributions from 68 authors, artists, architects, filmmakers, and educators, organized according to nine thematic sections or districts. These districts are titled: Things We Don’t Understand, Fluid Subjects, Not Asking for a Trip to the Moon, Forty Good Evenings, Doomscrolling, The Age of the Amateur, Elephants Without Tusks, Levels of Control, and How to Measure Everything.
