<div id="content"><p>Special Issues are publications thrice released by first-year XPUB
Masters students. Each edition focuses on a specific theme or issue.
The themes tie to external events and collaborations. Students and staff
work together to explore these themes, rethinking what a publication can
be. Each edition culminates in a celebratory release party.The
structure, tools, and workflows are reset every trimester. This reset
allows roles to rotate among participants and fosters an adapting
learning environment. It provides a space to experiment beyond
traditional collaborative methods. Our inaugural Special Issue was
number 19, in collaboration with Simon Browne. Garden Leeszaal was a
snapshot of Leeszaal Library through the metaphor of gardening. During
the release, we invited participants to engage with the librarys
discarded books. We pruned, gleaned, and grafted the books using pens,
pen-plotters, scissors, and glue. Then we harvested a book of our
collective work. Garden Leeszaal was an open dialogue. It was a tool for
collective writing, a group-made collage, and an archive. For us, being
a gardener meant caring for the people and books that formed the
library. The following Special Issue was number 20, assisted by Lìdia
Pereira and Artemis Gryllaki. Console was 20 hand-made wooden boxes. It
was an oracle and an emotional first aid kit to help you help yourself.
It invites you to delve into its contents to discover healing methods.
Console offers refuge for dreams, memories, and worries. It guides you
to face the past. You will then meet your fortune and gain a new view
through rituals and practices. It prompts everyday questions with
magical answers, asking: Are you ready to play? Our last special issue
was number 21. TTY was guided by kubernētēs Martino Morandi and weekly
guest collaborators. We started with a Model 33 Teletype machine, the
bridge between typewriters and computer interfaces. Through guest
contributions, we explored the intersection of historical and
contemporary computing. The Special Issue evolved into an ever-changing
“Exquisite Corpse Network” chasing weekly publications. Along the way,
we created gestures, concrete vinyl poetry, phone stories, and much
more.</p>
