The first issue of a periodical compiled by No Collective assembling materials that probe the density of various unrealities. Features a detailed report on the large-scale Earthworks "Site-Specific Fictions" by the art group Robert Smithson without Robert Smithson, an attempted restoration of the exhibition "Unconditional Restoration," a compilation of odd proposals sent to Movement Research in 2013, an observation journal on how human beings grow, an interview with a reclusive poet who makes his works by re-shelving books in libraries and is upset about conceptual poetry not being conceptual enough, and many more peculiarities. The publication is a reservoir for accomplished acts and done ideas, and wishes to provide pretext for daydreaming and resource for further production.
