About DIXED

DIXED is an international digital magazine exploring contemporary art, design, film, fashion, technology, travel, and the cultural ideas shaping what comes next.

Published worldwide by ArtTour International Publications Inc.

Where the name comes from

Dex is a contraction of decimal exponent. In astronomy it expresses change by an order of magnitude, and one dex is a tenfold change — the unit exists because there is no other short way to say ten times more.

DIXED borrows not the measurement but the idea at its centre: some things are too significant to be described as merely bigger. They move by orders of magnitude. DEX became DIXED — a name that feels active, as though something has already happened.

The act it names has three parts. Discovered. Found before anyone else was looking. Focused. Brought closer, and made legible to others. Magnified. Not praised — moved by an order of magnitude.

The red ✕ in the wordmark is both a multiplier and a meeting point: art ✕ design ✕ film ✕ fashion ✕ technology ✕ travel ✕ human experience.

What we publish

A monthly issue, led by a cover artist, and shorter pieces between them. Neither does news. Anything pegged to a date is stale before it publishes — so a DIXED story is written to be as worth reading in a year as on the day it appears.

Every cover artist is also interviewed on Vivid Arts TV, our broadcast partner, and in DIXED Conversations. One artist, three forms: read, listen, watch.

The line we hold

Editorial selection is never for sale. Advertising is always labelled. A cover is a produced feature and we choose who is eligible for one — but DIXED Recommends and Artists to Watch cannot be bought, and that is what makes being chosen worth something.
