DROPS is a freestyle publication from the research and publishing collective REINCANTAMENTO.
DROPS explores the hidden layers of the digital world, tracking how technology shapes culture, politics, and collective imagination.
We document emerging forms of networked cultures, stories of digital resistance and the emergence of spirituality and magic in technical systems.
Inspired by the practice of freestyle, DROPS doesn’t sit with fixed forms and aims to be home for textual experiments.
DROPS is part of REINCANTAMENTO's quest to decrypt and narrate the enchanted undercurrents of our technological present.

On REINCANTAMENTO
Born in 2020, REINCANTAMENTO is a hybrid entity based in Northern Italy and Berlin and initiated by Alessandro Y. Longo.
We are an independent research and publishing group formed by philosophers and designers dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between technology, magic, and society. REINCANTAMENTO operates as a publishing label and as a research-based art collective, intervening in the art world with talks, games, installations, and videos both in institutional and independent spaces.
The concept of re-enchantment grounds our research, offering a speculative framework through which reality can be re-signified. We search for pockets of agency in times when action seems impossible. Nurturing a philosophy of hope, we weave together networks of resistance and imagination.
