{"product_id":"all-things-measured-01-length","title":"All Things Measured: 01 — Length","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeople measure things everyday: precisely, imprecisely and unconsciously, whether they have a scale in hand or not. This new magazine explores one unit at a time (i.e.: length, temperature, luminosity) through stories of cultural, historical and societal implications that measurements have on our daily lives. The purpose of the magazine is to highlight a side of technology that is less about breakthrough or innovation, but more about the people who measure things daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIssue 01 (Length) explores the awkward teen years of the measuring units we use today, and the fine tuning done over thousands of years, “perfected\" (depending on how you define perfect) into the measuring standards of today— and how we collectively misuse them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsider that the word \u003cem\u003ethermometer\u003c\/em\u003e began to circulate a century and a half before the invention of the meter. Even if this inaugural issue is all about length, meter (\u003cem\u003emetron\u003c\/em\u003e in Greek – μέτρον) first meant “to measure”, and only after became a dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShock yourself at the incredibly recent imprecision of things we consider to be done at the highest caliber since time immemorial, such as flight and marathon record setting. Look up at the moon and know that you are just one thumb, or two clicks away, to finding out how far it is from you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors include write Maggie Oran, architect Ioana Gotia-Ciurea, artist Willem de Haan, Boey Wang, Joanne van der Wal, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by Andreea Samoilă\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArt direction and graphic design: Andreea Samoilă (in consultation with Rebecca Wilkinson and Sixin Zeng)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Iminent Studio S.R.L. \u003cbr\u003eAutumn\/Winter 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover, 104 pages, full color offset, 6.7 × 9.4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 977-3-06-140900-6\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68087456071915,"sku":"dqs1792050012929","price":15.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/2866\/3787\/files\/all-things-measured-01-length_1.jpg?v=1792050022","url":"https:\/\/theaterseatcladding.shop\/products\/all-things-measured-01-length","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
