Interview Magazine introduces its ipad platform version View Here
Its no mystery that the editorial world needs a boost. But. is the ipad going to be an extension of the magazine era, or the demise.
I think that this device is an interesting idea and venture for those whom are obsessed with the new, and next best thing. If you take a step back though, where is the archive-ability? This one device seems to negate an entire industry, photography and editorial writing. Its so easy to just immediately be distracted when reading an article, unlike sitting and reading a physical magazine, by rating, tweeting, facebooking, etc that I feel this has such a limited scope on where the industry is.
Magazines are a venue, they are an extension and an exhibition space for art. Art being defined as writing, photography, graphic design, this cannot be the driving force to end all that with just one machine. Even if the consumer world buys into it, I believe and hope that physical editorials will continue to exist and exhibit simply because of these values. Can magazines be so shallow now to dare to think otherwise?
