theme:

the theme for the launch issue (issue#0), "rave/change", is kept undefined and open on purpose to allow a greater variety of contributions.
it should be mentioned that "rave" does not only mean music or party but stands rather in a general way for agglomeration and energy.
"change" however, could be interpreted as the contrast and reflection, the analysing and calming part.
this could be transferred to nearly everything. for instance imagine a football match with its two halfs and the break...

to explain all my thoughts about the theme would be far too confusing and restrictive for you and the PUBLIC-FOLDER.
for me, there's a story behind "rave/change" which i will explain later on personal-folder.com
you can deal either with the whole term or only with one of the two words.
