|
|
|
<p>Special Issues are publications thrice released by first-year XPUB
|
|
|
Master’s 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.</p>
|
|
|
<p>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 library’s 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.</p>
|
|
|
<p>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?</p>
|
|
|
<p>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>
