Reality Sandwich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reality Sandwich is a web magazine published by Evolver LLC, a privately held company. The site is intent, as its tag line expresses it, on "evolving consciousness, bite by bite." Subjects run the gamut from sustainability to shamanism, alternate realities to alternative energy, remixing media to re-imagining community, holistic healing techniques to the promise and perils of new technologies. It offers a forum for voices ranging from the ecologically pragmatic to the wildly visionary. Content includes essays, short news stories, video clips, and audio podcasts. Over 1,000 articles have been published on the site since its launch in May, 2007. Author Daniel Pinchbeck serves as the magazine's editorial director, and SonicNet co-founder Ken Jordan is its publisher. It was also co-founded by the Creative Director/Artist Michael Robinson (www.michaelrobinsonnyc.com and www.michaelrobinsonnycart.com), and activist Jonathan Philips. Contributors include Douglas Rushkoff, DJ Spooky, Erik Davis, Alex Grey, Stanislav Grof, RU Sirius, Sharon Gannon, Tom Bradley, Charles Eisenstein[1] and The Yes Men.

The name "Reality Sandwich" is borrowed from a work by the Beat poet Allen Ginsberg as "a prime example of his use of startling verbal juxtapositions to suggest new ideas and connections." The name has been used with the blessing of the Allen Ginsberg Trust.

CivicActions, a firm of free and open source software consultants, built the site using the popular open source publishing system Drupal.
