Starborne, edited by Ashton Arnoldy, Ezekiel Fugate, and Ari Makridakis with special help from arts editor Alexis Braun as well as contributing editors Addam Ledamyen and Erin Vigil, is a journal dedicated to the emerging media category of Autocosmology. Rooted in the collaborative work of CIIS professors Carolyn Cooke and Brian Swimme, Starborne aims to explore the universe through the lens of human experience, emphasizing that each individual is a unique expression of the cosmos itself. We invite submissions that bridge the personal and the cosmological, offering a platform for work that connects the intimate with the universal.

 

From the editors of Starborne:

Starborne: The Journal of Autocosmology is currently seeking submissions for its first issue.

What does it mean for us to inhabit our role as an integral expression of the unfolding cosmic process? What changes when we remember that we exist on the crest of a 14-billion-year-old wave of cosmic creativity? And, how might this dawning awareness restructure both the theory and practice of art-making?

There are no absolute answers to these questions; rather, we are each tasked with discovering and embodying an authentic response to this awe-inspiring revelation. Starborne offers itself as a conduit for that burgeoning creativity.

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to the intricate dance between the grand story of cosmogenesis and its most intimate, personal dimension. This journal is a space where art, science, philosophy, cosmology, and lived experience converge to deepen our appreciation for the cosmos and our role within its ongoing evolution.

Starborne seeks to bridge diverse fields and perspectives, offering a platform for scholars, artists, and other practitioners to present work that pushes the boundaries of personal expression and cosmological discourse.

We envision Starborne as a living, conversational space, where interdisciplinary approaches and diverse voices come together to enrich our collective understanding of what it means to be the universe reflecting on itself in conscious self-awareness.
