A typewriter is corny!! + From Amiri Baraka, Technology & Ethos, http://www.soulsista.com/titanic/baraka.html + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + 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.

+Subrelease +Encoding Converter + + +We are on Strike + +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. + + + + + +Gesture Glossary + + + +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. +
+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. + ++ + +-week 2 -Encoding Converter
