Kamata compares a ring to a tape. Just as one can record music and videos on a tape, he records his love (in a form of kisses) on tesa tapes, thus adding a rare personal touch and creating one of a kind pieces of art. a lthough te sa rings are no longer made for sale, they can be se en on displays of Kamata`s impre ssive ex hibitions that he often holds in various locations in europe.

e live in a world today in which we are all constantly adrift in an ocean of information and

clips, pictures, and a way to easily and immediately share or respond to ar ticles. Lets face it; the days of morning powwows around the of fice water cooler are gone. these days, people can read an interesting stor y on a news site or in an e-maga zine and instantaneously send the ar ticle to frie nds along with their pe rsonal comme nts. Social net work ing site s like Face book and twit te r have made sharing digital media easier and faster than ever before.

many of us feel overwhelmed by the endless waves. The accessibility of information is astonishing: smart phones, tablets, e-readers, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, you Tube, podcasts, TV. And, one thing that all of these sources have in common is that they are paperless. with the circulation of print newspapers and magazines on a steady decline,

a study from the L2 think tank found that more than 66% of generation Y readers (ages 12-29) get their news from digital source s and not from newspape rs. this is not

Most of us can che ck the news on the go with our smar t phones or tablets and read from reliable up to the minute source s. in the war bet we e n digital and print, the bat tle for the newspape r has be e n decided and digital has emerged the victor. on another front, the battle for the magazine wages on.

Many major magazine publishers have crossed over to the digital market, but have failed to take advantage of the medium fully. Most are satisfied with simply copying the content from the print issues and conver ting it to the new format. New and independent e-maga zines have embraced the format more fully than their larger competitors, choosing not to publish print issues at all. digital maga zines introduce the oppor tunit y for even small publishers to reach an international community with their content. they can also utilize all of the same interactive elements that online newspapers do, links, videos, pictures, and social networking options. For large publishers, e-magazines can provide readers with exclusive content and other incentives to subscribe to the paperless versions. provide the environment. in the United States alone, about 40 million tons of newspapers and magazines are thrown away each year, all of which could be recycled. Figures from other countries var y slightly, but not enough to make an impact on the damaging ef fects of the print and paper industries. even internet users print an average of 28 pages from websites daily. with the availability and variety of tablet devices and smar t phones expanding, paper consumption rates are expected to fall. However, its up to maga zine publishers to create a unique interactive reading experience that of fers more than print can. a study from the association of Maga zine Media found that tablet and smar t phone users want publishers to establish a universal navigator for af ter all, the biggest overall benefit of online magazines is the one they Both publishers and readers need to accept that print is dying and embrace the new format and all of its benefits. New innovations are always slow to bring about change, but change is inevitable. Considering the advantages to both readers and publishers, the choice is obvious. and, if you think trees are the only things at stake in this digital revolution, conside r the following: the manufacture of paper uses more water per pound of finished product than any other industr y in the world, paper bleaching produces the dangerous carcinogen dioxin as a by-product, paper products rele ase methane gas as they de compose in landfills, and the paper manufacturing process uses 4100 kilowatts of energy, which is enough to power a home for six months. these statistics are not intended to scare, but they should encourage you to consider how you choose your media source s and what impact those choice s will have. e-magazines are the future. wordS witHoUt BorderS translates, publishes, and promotes the finest contemporar y international literature. our publications and programs open doors for readers of english around the world to the multiplicity of viewpoints, richness of experience, and literar y perspective on world events of fered by writers in other language s. we se ek to connect international writers to the general public, to students and educators, and to print and other media and to ser ve as a primar y online location for a global literar y conversation. ever y month, in our online maga zine, we publish twelve to fifteen new works by international writers. to date we have published over 120 0 piece s from 114 countries and eight y languages.
