Welcome
As you enter, the walrus waddling past you growls in greeting. To your left, a pirate is sharpening his sword.
On your right some reptilian extra-terrestrial is discussing politics with an unusually garrulous tea-cup. You watch
in amazement as a submarine that had been parked on asphault in front of a church, suddenly submerges as the street
temporarily transforms into water. You know right away that this is not an ordinary place.
In the air, you hear the must beautiful music that has ever fallen upon your ears. This music is a Dreamscape
representation of poetry. Whenever a poem is written, the sound becomes all the more pleasant. You see a young
boy staring longinly at the sky, so you too look up. The starry night sky is breathtaking in its beauty. You think
it must have been designed by an artist, for so it was. Just as the music is the physical manifestation of the spoken
word, so to is this vista a physical manefestation of the visual arts.
You are in a place of inspiration. You are in a place of dreams. Before you wake, consider what you can do to
make this place more intriguing, more thrilling, more beautiful, or more mysterious. The Dreamscape is there
for everyone to access. We can all contribute through all of our creative endeavors.
Who Are We?
Red Shift has been resurrected by a group of creative individuals as an outlet for other creative individuals at Stevens.
For more of this organizations brief history, please visit our About Page, which is accessible from the main menu.
However, we are more concerned with Red Shift's future. We publish any and all types of creations that translate well to
paper. That includes poetry, prose, photography, digital art, traditional art and almost anything else that you can think of.
We always welcome your submissions. In fact, we cannot exist without them. For information about our submission policies, please
visit our Submissions Page.
Other Important Site Features
This site has been designed with a tri-fold purpose:
- First and foremost, it is a compendium of all publicly available information regarding Red Shift. As such, it is our
way to to share information with the Stevens community. This information can be found among the pages in our Main Menu
- Second, it is meant as a hub of communication for our members. Check the Announcements for this month to be
informed of important up-comming events. Under Minutes you will find the minutes of all our meetings organized by date. Finally
there is a public Forum where anyone, member or not, can offer suggestions or ask questions. All we ask is that if you do
post to the Forum, please use just your Pipeline user name as your e-mail address.
- Third, this website will serve to generate interest in Red Shift. In the Gallery you will find samples of submissions
that have been published in previous editions of Red Shift. These are included with the permission of their creators in the hope that they
will inspire you to be creative. At the very least, they will serve as proof that science and engineering students can use the right sides of our
brains. Also, please note that certain community based activities will be announced under Announcements as well
