Sleek Surfaces
(Magazine and Creative Direction)
LEAP’s Spring / Summer 2023 edition, titled “Sleek Surfaces,” delves into the notion of smooth aesthetics, which have become increasingly dominant due to the resurgence of social media during the pandemic era. New technologies continue to permeate daily life, and the notion of “sleekness” is shaping how we view and influence life’s politics in an ostensibly diverse but potentially homogenized manner on an unprecedented scale and depth. In this issue, visual elements were used to reference such technologies, software, machines, and tools, and take the shape of the miscellaneous digital informational aestetics to explore the intricacies and dissatisfactions surrounding smoothness within contemporary art.
