The OCR Journal #002, published in 2017, was the much anticipated followup to the OCR Journal #001. Following the exploratory nature of the first journal, #002 expanded the breadth of material by shifting the article’s physical format and by showcasing the extent of the office – compared to the 6 or so contributors to the initial journal, #002 featured pieces by all 10 members of the office plus a few from the office’s friends.
