Scrapped: Issue 1 - Hit It

By Various

From the Publisher:

"Hit It" is the theme of Scrapped's inaugural issue. We view "Hit It" as an unrestricted exploration of desire and ambition. We identified two primary characteristics of our notion of "Hit It" and curated the issue in consideration of them. First is a raw, visceral quality stemming from desire and physicality; it alludes to humans' status as animals. Whether this is manifested as hunger, physical desire, or anger, "Hit It" is about active intensity. Paradoxically, the second characteristic is the lack of emotion in the context the phrase is most often used: casually referring to intercourse as "hitting it." But beneath this impassivity, there exists a live charge, perhaps even a violent one. So, while "Hit It" conveys a distinct sense of shrouded emotion and dispassioned inertia, it also conveys action, movement, and dynamism. In this way, "Hit It" is about ambition: cool ambition, calculated ambition, but ambition all the same. Take the Bertolt Brecht quote we kept referring to when creating this issue, "Art is not a mirror to reflect reality, but a hammer with which to shape it" -- moving beyond the expected requires intellectual, passionate, ambitious action.
