We're happy to announce the planned publication, in late October 2026, of two experimental novellas by Ilker Artiran, SANDFACE & SYMBIOSIS.
"A visionary work of posthuman poetics situated somewhere between industrial noise, cybernetic fiction, and desert mysticism."
In SANDFACE, İlker Artıran constructs a sprawling hallucinated landscape witnessing the collapse of flesh, code, desert, machine, memory. Part epic poem, part cybernetic nightmare, part posthuman scripture, the text unfolds as an immense field of linguistic drift, populated by abandoned technologies, synthetic voices, industrial ruins, spectral identities, and faces emerging from, & dissolving back into, the sand.
Written in relentless waves of associative montage, SANDFACE inhabits a world where language itself has become a malfunctioning biosystem: a site of contamination, mutation, recursive self-construction. Bodies are rewritten as data, machines dream of flesh, consciousness flickers between noise & signal, presence & disappearance. What emerges is an ecology of intensities, a darkly lyrical meditation on technology, death, desire, & all the very unstable architectures of the self.
Drawing on cut-up writing, cyberpunk, industrial music, experimental poetry & posthumanist theory, Artıran has produced a singular work of visionary excess: at once brutal & beautiful, philosophical & visceral, apocalyptic & strangely intimate.
