Mute magazine was founded in London in 1994 to investigate issues relating to new media and art. It quickly became one of the UK’s cult art magazines. This new publication looks at its entire graphic output.
In the early 1990s, long before the internet became an integral part of life, a handful of pioneering magazines took it upon themselves to imagine the web into existence. Using fiction, interviews, speculative theory and experimental graphic design, these titles helped create a lexicon and iconography every bit as powerful as the architecture of the World Wide Web. London-based Mute occupied a central position here, wielding an influence vastly disproportionate to its size.
