<p>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. XPUB's interests in publishing are twofold:</p>
<p><b>first</b>, publishing as the inquiry and participation into the technological frameworks, political context and cultural processes through which things are made public;</p>
<p>and <b>second</b>, how these are, or can be, used to create publics by expanding the means of discourse circulation beyond print media and its direct digital translation.</p>
<p> Radio Implicancies is a weekly broadcast of recorded and live matter brought to you by Piet Zwart Institute's Experimental Publishing programme. Radio Implicancies starts in the middle. Each broadcast means to engage with the way technologies are worlding the world. Take a deep breath and jump in on other ways of calculating, validating, ordering and framing collections of digital material. Let’s not wait for tomorrow to pay attention to the colonial conditionings of contemporary techno-cultures!

<p>From the other side of the world we were given data about a past dictatorship. A portion of an archive that exists to keep history truthful, educating the present, the recurrent time of political urgency and authoritarian repression. We were entrusted to secure it, manage it and publish it anonymously. Here, we cannot share the archive itself, but we can share our stories (experiences) and the process (tools, methods) we underwent while working with it. If the political situation sharpens and censorship and repression over meaning endanger our beings, this collectively assembled website is the place that offers an insight into possible solutions that do everything to keep our voices heard and our bodies intact.</p>

<p>Dear operators,</p>
<p>We would to invite you to combine, modulate, compose, and play with our 10 unique contributions to the common assembly of the modular publication INPUT-OUTPUT. Each contribution consists of one or more modules. Each of them represents our individual interests in the matter of signals, circuits, language and interfaces, while using modular synthesis as a means to explore these concepts and systems. Outputs vary between sound, image and text. Assemble and use at your own risk.</p>

<p><em>The Library Is Open</em> invites you to an afternoon of workshops that make the operations within libraries visible. Join us in exploring the actions and roles of legal and extra-legal libraries (municipal, pirate, academic, +++), their custodians, and the public that form a community around collections of texts.</p>

<p>We traveled from home to home by bicycle, setting up homeservers. As friends and companions on this <em>Infrastructour</em>, we studied our routers over drinks served by our hosts. Where possible we installed our servers in our homes, in other cases we had to depend on another member of the group. While self-hosting together we questioned our understandings of networks, autonomy, online publishing and social infrastructures, where each of us departed from a different question. We would like to share our personal (yet interconnected) routes with you, tell you a story, present our web- and printed zines, and invite you to explore our homebrewed network.</p>

<p>You're welcome to share your books with us, regardless of where you got them from.
XPPL is a platform for potential pirate librarianship where knowledge comrades share information freely. The library gathers all the books and articles floating around on our shelves, hard drives, memory sticks and bathroom floors. It starts at XPUB, but it can go anywhere you want it to.</p>

<p>In the Ouvroir de Numérisation Potentielle (the workshop of potential digitisation, or OuNuPo) the XPUB practitioners reflected on several topics: how culture is shaped by book scanning? Who has access and who is excluded from digital culture? How free software and open source hardware have bootstrapped a new culture of librarians? What happens to text when it becomes data that can be transformed, manipulated and analysed ad nauseam?
<p>Can an archive save the Poortgebouw? This former squat and vibrant living community is facing a key moment in the future. In this publication, oral histories from the building’s illustrious past interact with material from various collections, including the Poortgebouw’s own Autonomous Archive. Here, archiving is not the end, but the beginning of a debate.</p>

<p>Pick the Pig, you are a risky trader. Pick the Chicken, and you'll sit on your eggs until they hatch. Maybe you'll be lucky and get a Bull market, or maybe not and have to deal with the Bear. Tear up a book, and get dealing with the free market, exploitation, taxation and the privatization of services. Pit resources and economics against each other and feel the Artifical Scarity burn.</p>
