Nice one!
SP Issue #1 will crash in:

We took a pause. To recharge, recalibrate, and reflect. To ask the big questions: Who are we? Who are you? What truly matters?
While we stepped away, the world kept moving. Creativity grew louder but felt thinner. Too many awards, not enough substance. Too much noise, not enough meaning.
It’s time to ask better questions: What are we creating? Why does it matter? What truly leaves a mark? So, we’re evolving. But here’s what we’re not doing:
We’re not pandering. We’re not feeding the scroll. We’re not chasing clicks. We’re not creating content for content’s sake. And we’re definitely not being predictable.
With our new format and our first digital issue, SYSTEM RESET, we’re reigniting a more honest, global conversation about creativity. In 2025, we’re bringing back live events, starting in Osaka, with more stop-offs to follow.
To everyone who’s been part of our journey over the last 20 years—thank you.
