‘A digest dedicated to all things creative, experimental, and authentic’
One of the many excellent things about Dagny Tepper’s Pilot is the fact that no two issues have ever looked alike—the format is ever-changing. So much so that, when we pulled this perfectly pocket-sized fifth issue out of its box, it took a moment before we recognised it as the cultural compendium that is Pilot.
Inside this flipbook-esque edition, themed ‘Underbelly’, the team explore ‘The Human Condition’ with London-based music producer Vegyn. Ruby Carter digs into one of the magCulture team's favourite ‘cyber sincere‘ newsletters, Perfectly Imperfect. Myrtle Boot writes on 'Solo Clubbing as a 20-Something Woman'.
Plus, Deptford Northern Soul, Mystery QR codes, space to scribble and an all-around wonderfully-tactile experience (note the type-only pages in between features and the very particular paper stock—both of which genuinely, gleefully slow down your reading experience).
