Frontier

This black and teal comic uncovers the mystery behind an unnamed mp3 file that was anonymously uploaded to the internet and is just 3 hours of an uninterrupted monotonous hum. The file, renamed to Sexcoven, sparked mass downloads by teenagers and was said to cause hallucinations and erratic behavior. Told as an visual investigative journalism piece from the perspective of an interviewer, artist Jillian Tamaki explores the aftermath of Sexcoven's rise to popularity and the community of people that moved to Joshua Tree to continue working on the project. -- Grace Li
