[Commlist] .able, an open access multiplatform journal to publish image-based research at the intersection of art, design, and sciences

.able, a free image-based multiplatform journal that publishes research 
at the intersection of art, design, and sciences, is now available.

.able's web platform and social media propose visually striking and 
radically new forms of publications where sensitivity is at the foreground.

https://able-journal.org / @ablejournal on social media

 From the design of sustainable fashion or bioluminescent 
micro-architecture, to the dynamics of bacterial contamination or the 
exploration of deep sleep, .able journal, through five visual essay 
formats (scroll.able, pan.able, zoom.able, story.able, video.able), 
provides multiple entry points to research in art, design, and sciences 
for all. A peer-reviewed journal to investigate contemporary 
sociopolitical, anthropotechnical, and environmental issues.

To celebrate this launch, a week of activities, from March 23 to 29, is 
being held to explore .able

How can we go beyond text in communicating practice-based research at 
the intersections of art, design, and science?

The traditional methodologies and formats of journal articles are not 
always adapted to research that explores sensorial and singular forms. 
.able is the result of observing this limitation; its goal is the 
innovative publication of interdisciplinary, practice-based research 
through images.

As a peer-reviewed journal, .able experiments with the potentials of 
academic publishing, going beyond the conventions of traditional 
text-centric publishing to explore the many alternatives and 
opportunities that multimedia and multiple platforms offer.
