Thе issue focuses on relationships between contemporary digital technologies and the production, distribution, interpretation, and use of images and evidence of war in order to explore the nexus of aesthetics and violence. In response to this in times of war, marginalisation, and exclusion, we present a number of essays, interviews, and contributions that address these and many other contemporary issues, within the new double issue 37/38 of The Large Glass, a journal of contemporary art, culture and theory.
