- -- A Special Issue is a tri-annually released publication created by the XPUB master's students, allowing students and staff to explore not only the individual themes of each edition, but also the definition of what is or can be a publication. -
- Each Special Issue addresses a specific "issue", often coordinated with outside events and collaborations, and culminates in a release party. - - The organisation, tools, and workflows are reset every trimester to both allow the rotation of roles within this publishing experiment, but also permit to explore novel collaborative methods beyond their archetypes and stereotypes. -
-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.
Special thanks to Martino Morandi (guest editor), Andrea di Serego Alighieri,
- Femke Snelting, Isabelle Sully, Jara Rocha, Roel Roscam Abbing, and Zoumana Meïté.
- Your generous contribution has made those releases possible,
- and we are deeply grateful for your gesture.
Yours,

A Special Issue is a tri-annually released publication created by the XPUB master's students, allowing students and staff to explore not only the individual themes of each edition, but also the definition of what is or can be a publication.
+Each Special Issue addresses a specific "issue", often coordinated with outside events and collaborations, and culminates in a release party. + The organisation, tools, and workflows are reset every trimester to both allow the rotation of roles within this publishing experiment, but also permit to explore novel collaborative methods beyond their archetypes and stereotypes.
+Peripheral centers and feminist servers investigate multiple approaches to the conditions of serving. It interrupts the endless flow of data that fuels the economy, exposing the cracks and gaps of the techno-scientific paradigm imposed on society. Where commands are executed, connections made, trust exchanged, and resources shared.
+This feminist data center brings to light the physical infrastructure and actual labour which enable the processes we perform every day. In this exploration, we think through feminist approaches that reveal the concealed layers of our on(off)line interactions. We broaden our understanding of how this tangible, energy-intensive infrastructure truly operates behind the seemingly innocent notion of the ‘cloud’.
+The various projects within Peripheral centers and feminist servers expose their infrastructure, emphasizing the material conditions of their production. We advocate that the fairy tale of immateriality has real socio-economic-environmental consequences.
+With Varia
+In the middle of an on-going apocalypse what should be preserved, and what forgotten? In the efforts of scavenging and resurrecting a sonic archive. It is only a question of time until all will be lost. Lend an ear as we collectively explore, activate and transmit the archive of Worm community Radio. We must listen closely, we must decide what remains and how we can rebuild upon a fractured past. Become absorbed by a re-imagined reality through an archival deep-dive!
+With Radio WORM.

Dear gardener librarians, book smellers and textual explorers,
+ Special Issue 19 is harvested. Welcome! Here every librarian (librarians of their own library) is welcome to garden Leeszaal and discover what this library offers. We will see behind the curtains of how the unwanted books are kept in this library. Leeszaal is not a real library, it's an open-ended story where everyone is a member; a plot waiting to be tended to and tilled. Volunteers sort all the books that people contribute. Some of them aren't going to make it to the shelves. They will end up as a pile of paper in trash bins, waiting to be recycled. And that's ok.
+ This publication is a momentary snapshot of the current state of a library seen through the metaphor of gardening; pruning, gleaning, growing, grafting and harvesting. Garden Leeszaal is an open conversation; a collective writing tool, a cooperative collage and an archive. We would like to ask everyone to think of the library as a garden. For us, being a gardener means caring; caring for the people and books that form this space.
This experimental publication sprouted in co-production with Simon Browne and the bootleg library, Cara Manuela Mayer Yepez, Irmak Ertaş, Stephen Kerr, Aglaia Petta, Ada Varriale and Boyana Stoilova.

-- first, publishing as the inquiry and participation into the technological frameworks, political context and cultural processes through which things are made public; -
-- and second, 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. -

- -The time pressure and weekly format framework left the overall project stuck under the surface of the water, as under an ice floe. Yet, the time spared on reflecting over past releases was invested in a bold pace of exploration, in which each week the group has re-conceptualised new work methodologies. The urgency of experimenting with new infrastructures and breaking down mainstream hierarchical ones, took over the reflection of the resulted emergencies within each project. The ice floe broke at some place, enabling water flows, but those remained disparate, a stream still waiting to be connected.
