<p>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!!</p>

<p>Amiri Baraka, Technology & Ethos,
|
|
|
http://www.soulsista.com/titanic/baraka.html</p>
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
<p>TTY was produced in april-june 2023 as special issue 21 with guest
|
|
|
editor Martino Morandi, and contributors Andrea di Serego Alighieri,
|
|
|
Femke Snelting, Isabelle Sully, Jara Rocha, Roel Roscam Abbing, and
|
|
|
Zoumana Meïté.</p>
