Neural is a printed magazine established in 1993 dealing with new media art, electronic music and hacktivism. http://www.neural.it Neural ISSN: 2037-108X.

Neural is one of the most influential magazines about digital culture. It was established in 1993 and co-founded by Alessandro Ludovico. Its topics are based on media art, especially the networked and conceptual use of technologies in art, hacktivism, meant as digital media activism, and electronic music, investigating experiments in music and technology, including the scattered galaxy of sound art. The magazine's mission is to collect ideas and also to be a node in a larger network of digital culture publishers and practitioners. In 1997 the first Neural.it website was uploaded, and since September 2000 it's daily updated. In 2002 Neural was one of the founding member of Mag.net (Magazine network of electronic cultural publishers), an international network of magazines dealing with new media art. Magnet's members are mutual supporting each other and their slogan is "Collaboration is Better than Competition". Neural.it was awarded with an Honorary Mention in Prix Ars Electronica 2004 (net.vision category). Neural has been part of the Documenta 12 Magazines project.

Neural [music review]
"...The city becomes a constantly rewritten electroacoustic score: a web of impulses, feedback, and sonic densities that convey the idea of a veritable organism. Through the use of electronics and field recordings, the urban environment is not represented, but rather explored in its less obvious flows, as if sound were a sensitive instrument of..."

"...an imaginative installation with specific mechanisms. “Signal” (which has been part of the Perma/Soils exhibition at the Piksel 25 festival) is made of a matrix of signal generator modules, which modulate sine waves matching human voice frequencies. There are dials on each box, which slowly rotate back and..."

"The political role of libraries is receiving focused attention from artists, writers, academics, and activists. Researching this role, as the project behind this book has done, inevitably intertwines two essential perspectives: experimental literature and publishing, and..."

"...In Turntable Solos, this legacy takes shape in a physical and almost sculptural practice of vinyl manipulation, where friction, micro-variations in rotation, feedback loops and irregularities in the support become the building blocks. The setup, based on a combination of specially designed devices and..."

"Forty years have passed since the first publication of Opera by FNTC, published by Staalplaat, when the cassette format was not yet an aesthetic choice, as often happens today, but a necessity dictated above all by production costs and distribution methods. The underground scene of the time was..."
