We are the Phase Collective. Hi. You are looking at the premier issue of
Phase Magazine, our quarterly digital publication which brings you visual
and written experiences in the areas of whatever. The Phase Collective
was conceived in 2005 as a freely creative outlet for its founders and
contributors, and we hope to keep things fresh and ever-evolving. This
publication will anchor the Phase Collective’s endeavors as we explore
new ways to bring our latest Phase to the rest of the world—in print,
interactive, audio, underground, and experiential media.
phase01 brainstorm
Phase01 is Brainstorm. Ideas, free-flowing thoughts, visual wanderings,
lists and brain-dumps. Anything at all remotely related to the idea of
the brainstorm. Or not. In our premier issue, we asked our contributors
to start with ‘brainstorm’ and take it anywhere from there...

What does it feel like to be on
DAYTIME TELEVISION? Ok, have you ever
sat down in a really
nice leather chair?
You know the kind, with a matching
ottoman, that is made from some
exotic animals hide and costs more
than your car? The kind that just
suck you in and make you feel like
pondering life or anything your brain
can come up with to keep you in that
chair because it feels so good. That
is pretty much what it feels like to be
on a soap except while your sitting
in that chair your memorizing the
46 pages of dialogue you have to
prepare in just under 18 hours. But,
it is by far the sweetest job I have ever
had...although not as sweet as Jack
Nicholson’s gig, but even he had to
start somewhere.

What does it feel like to drive a
1981 CADILLAC COUP DE VILLE?
Ok, have you ever sat
down in a really nice
leather chair?
(refer to first question) Now put wheels on
it. That’s what it feels like, like driving your
living room around town—it’s pure luxury
bro—it drives like a good single malt scotch.
And since buying that whip, metaphors like
the prior have suddenly become a part of my
prose and I like it. Plus, every single valet
guy in town thinks I’m the tits!

The Phase Collective and Phase Magazine were established in late 2005
by Gabe Ruane and Brett Jorgensen because it was time for something
new. We hope you enjoyed Phase01, and we’re looking forward to
bringing you something completely different the next time around.
