egirl is a 32 page full color magazine. It is envisioned as the first part of an ongoing series about Internet culture. The magazine will be printed via the offset printing process in editions of 2000. Published by 2dcloud.
Issue #001 is an interactive timeline beginning in 1982. Minitel launches in France, where the seeds of cybersex and electronic romances are planted, and eventually blossom. We time travel, meeting early webcam girls like Jennicam, migrating to and away from Yahoo! Groups and LiveJournal communities and Tumblr and MySpace, finally, ending in 2024, when the $egirl token is launched and Hegelian E-girl Council is formed. Along the way, we encounter #GamerGate, and /r9k/, ASMR, cosplay, and TikTok, and meet characters like Bailey Jay, Belle Delphine, and "CLASSY" Fred Blassie.
egirl is still gestating, evolving, growing and changing. This page is a living document showcasing some of that process. As such, some of the text, illustration, and design are placeholder as the print product is being finalized. egirl will go to the printer some time next month.
The printing process will take approximately 4 weeks. Once the titles have shipped to our office / warehouse here in Chicago we will immediately begin fulfilling orders.
