Jamming Their Transmission, Episode 21: A Conversation About Interconnectedness

Today’s episode features Big Other‘s editor John Madera moderating a discussion at the opening of Interconnectedness, an exhibition of fourteen works by Lydia Dona, Nicole Parcher, and Stephen Pusey—three brilliant artists, each of whom reenvisions abstraction in dynamic and exceptional ways. The show in New York City is open for public viewing at New York Insight Meditation Center until January 31, 2026.

John Madera is the author of Nervosities (Anti-Oedipus Press, 2024) and Nomad Science (Spuyten Duyvil Press, forthcoming in 2026). His fiction is also published in Conjunctions, Salt Hill, Hobart, The &Now Awards 2: The Best Innovative Writing, and many other journals. His poetry is also published in elimae, Sixth Finch, Contrapuntos, and elsewhere. His criticism is published in American Book Review, Bookforum, The Review of Contemporary Fiction, Rain Taxi: Review of Books, The Believer, The Brooklyn Rail, and many other venues. Recipient of an M.F.A. in Literary Arts from Brown University, two-time New York State Council on the Arts awardee John Madera lives in New York City, where he runs Rhizomatic and manages and edits Big Other.
