While the plural of anecdote might not be data, our current collection of monologues and stories certainly makes for good reading. In fact, our Fall issue not only functions like an anecdotal bricolage, but also centers on the cut-up thematically. From the technique’s explosion in the visual arts in the beginning of the twentieth century to its vital role in the context of sampling and electronic music, assembling parts from different sources to create a new whole is about more than just making art—it’s a way of seeing the world’s narrative tapestry. Best wishes, Max Dax, Editor-in-Chief
