Abstract

In order for you to read these very words many things must occur: thoughts translated into words, then transformed from typing to binary code and saved to an online file. Several iterations later (digitally, physically and virtually) a tangible document is produced in The STEAM Journal, Volume 1, Issue 2 that can be read. The multitude of submissions, and the final selection of stellar works you see here all travelled through a hidden world of numbers, digits and sequences and were labelled over and over with numerous symbols.
