what you're looking at here is a photo of my desk in the spectacular front corner room of 1069 bathurst back around 95. the issue of oversion is probably the core one of the issue known as oversion 11,12,13. This issue, post Oversion 0 (the first ending of the magazine) was done in little batches over a period of time with the existing 11,12,13 being ongoingly shrunk and modified to make room for new incoming material, instead of sticking with the old issue, X, issue, X, issue, X, approach. Ultimately they'd come in great variance as the page ordering was done individ- ually for each copy. There were vert- ical and hor- izontal and some with some of each. It became like the permanent magazine. Nothing's permanent tho... and the room itself ancient history, like a paperbox strung on live streetcar wires with trucks as well bouncing the floors starting before the dawn and always, thus a room to be enjoyed as art, you will recognize some of the art on the walls, and some of the oceanliners passing in the window are also of this company. ~ John Barlow
