+        <strong>A typewriter?</strong>
+        
+        why shd it only make use of the tips of the fingers as contact points of flowing multi directional 
+        creativity. If I invented a word placing machine, an “expression-scriber,” if you will, then I would 
+        have a kind of instrument into which I could step & sit or sprawl or hang & use not only my fingers 
+        to make words express feelings but elbows, feet, head, behind, and all the sounds I wanted, screams, 
+        grunts, taps, itches, I’d have magnetically recorded, at the same time, & translated into word or 
+        perhaps even the final xpressed thought/feeling wd not be merely word or sheet, but itself, the 
+        xpression, three dimensional–able to be touched, or tasted or felt, or entered, or heard or carried 
+        like a speaking singing constantly communicating charm. A typewriter is corny!!

+        -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+        
+        This issue started from a single technical object: a Model 33 Teletype machine. The teletype is the 
+        meeting point between typewriters and computer interfaces, a first automated translator of letters 
+        into bits. Equipped with a keyboard, a transmitter and a punchcard read-writer, it is a historical 
+        link between early transmission technology such as the telegraph and the Internet of today. Under 
+        the administration of our kubernētēs, Martino Morandi, each week hosted a guest contributor who 
+        joined us in unfolding the many cultural and technical layers that we found stratified in such a 
+        machine, reading them as questions to our contemporary involvements with computing and with networks. 
+        
+        The format of the issue consisted of on an on-going publishing arrangement, constantly re-considered 
+        and escaping definition at every point in spacetime, a sort of Exquisite Corpse Network. It evaded 
+        naming, location, and explanation; the Briki, the Breadbrick, the Worm Blob. A plan to release 
+        weekly bricks was wattled by a shared understanding of time into something more complex in structure,
+        less structured in complexity.
+        
+        Initially, the week's caretakers were responsible for collecting materials from our guest 
+        contributions, which included lectures, collective readings, hands-on exercises, an excursion to the 
+        Houweling Telecom Museum, Rotterdam and another to Constant, Brussels. The caretakers were 
+        responsible for recording audio, editing notes, transcribing code, taking pictures, and making lunch.
+        Meanwhile the week's editors were responsible for coming up with a further step in how the publishing
+        progressed, by adding new connections and interfaces, creating languages, plotting strikes and cherishing 
+        memories. This mode of publishing made us develop our own collective understandings of 
+        inter-operation, of networked care and access, backward- and forward-compatibility, obsolence and 
+        futurability.
+        
+        Teletypewriters ushered in a new mode of inscription of writing: if the typewriter set up a 
+        grid of letters and voids of the same size, turning the absence of a letter (the space) into a key 
+        itself (the spacebar), the teletypewriter finished it by inscribing the space in the very same 
+        material as all other letters: electrical zeros and ones, that were to immediately leave the 
+        machine. The Teletype Model 33, one of the most widely produced and distributed text-based terminals 
+        in the 1970s, introduced multiple technological concretizations that are present in the computers of 
+        today as a sort of legacy, such as the qwerty keyboard with control keys, the ascii character 
+        encoding and the TTY terminal capability. We have created short-circuits that allow us to remember
+        otherwise technical progress and computational genealogies.
+        
+        TTY was produced in april-june 2023 as special issue 21 of the xpub at piet zwart institute, 
+        rotterdam. xpub is the master of arts in fine art and design: experimental publishing of the 
+        piet zwart institute. xpub focuses on the acts of making things public and creating publics 
+        in the age of post-digital networks. For more see issue.xpub.nl/21

+week 3
+Hey Babe!
+Hey Babe! is a publication of XPUB1 as part of the Special Issue 21. It consists of excerpts from the 
+conversations at the Houweling Telecom Museum, parts from the documentary The Phantom of the Operator 
+and a collective reading experience on binary systems. This publication aims to act as a familiar sound 
+over the phone and requires a caller to be heard. Unless anyone calls, our memories about the last couple 
+of months will be phantomized. This is our ode to the invisible labor of operators, long distance 
+relationships, people who could not hear from their lovers for years, trembling voices over the phone 
+and all the people who took an effort and spend time to reach someone. This is the sound of your 
+friend saying “hello” on the phone. The pubication consists of many sound clips. The caller will listen
+to a random clip each time they call.

+Overlap
+We have a bag full of planets, stars, our favorite moments, darkest fears, best intentions and worst 
+feelings. We contain them and sometimes they overlap each other. Sometimes we are happy and sad; 
+sometimes we forget why we were even mad in the beginning. But we also share some of these moments or 
+galaxies that reside in our bags with other souls. We remember the same moment through a different
+window. We remember that day as cold, whereas they remember it as warm. One by one, these moments
+create one snapshot of the reality. The reality we create collectively. We sometimes trust our memories 
+and our memories always trust us. 
+<br>
+We overlap, we crawl through the memory lane. We go silently through the gates of space and time, 
+we exchange our sights with each other and for one spectacular moment, all the stars in our bags spill 
+and we get to see through each other’s’ eyes. Our bag is now in the middle, its ready for you to 
+discover and see the networks of our minds, make knots in the middle or intervene with what we call is 
+a collective memory of few xpubbers.
