Barok is a new monthly journal to identify, observe, and understand momentary forms of beauty submerged within a culture defined by information. It also provides subscribers the opportunity to purchase objects through the New Market, including: ideas, information, and things, which may not easily fit into traditional market categories, submitted by an evolving group of artists, designers, scientists and engineers.

The proceeds from subscriptions, and New Market sales will support Barok: Studies in Nomadic Information, whose intent is to serve under-funded research areas in the arts and sciences and broaden our understanding of these complex practices.

Regarding Barok:
Historically, the Baroque included the act or result of curving or bending and usually referred to visual forms. The [new] Barok, refers to an action, rather than a physical characteristic. It describes the forces that act upon information, causing it to twist and turn into new meanings.
