Orelier launched in February of 2026 as a way to spend more time with the questions that sit beneath contemporary life — how people make sense of the digital ecosystems they move through, how different fields observe change from their own vantage points, and how those perspectives echo across disciplines when patterns are traced in relation to one another. Orelier features insights from researchers, designers, and field workers who engage these issues, allowing a diverse collection of stories to unfold at a human pace. The aim is to examine how developments in tech interact with culture, and how those systems align (or fall out of alignment) with the human nervous system.

Live from Spain, this journal is shaped by an editorial perspective grounded in tech and culture writing, with roots in digital design ethics and conceptual art. By bringing together contributions from people who study these systems up close, Orelier supports a shared effort to notice, interpret, and respond to the shifts shaping the modern world.

Artist Statement

This is a form of narrative journalism which is a creative routine and a way of connecting with others, like when you’re a kid and you have a zine except it’s not on Substack or social media. This platform publishes essays, interviews, and cultural analysis in a native digital format, with each piece being relatively short in length to accommodate the modern attention span. It is journalistic in method and experimental by design.

Trudy J. Hall is the author of Continuum, an ongoing editorial project and case study focused on the psychological, cultural, and political effects of digital environments. Her work moves between media criticism, interface theory, ideological inquiry, and social critique, with a specific focus on how platforms, large language models, and technological evolution impact attention, emotion, and perception of reality.
