<h1>XPUB<br />
SPECIAL<br />
ISSUES</h1>
<p>A <em>Special Issue</em> is a tri-annually released publication created by the XPUB master's students, allowing students and staff to explore <!-- different workflows, collaboration, open source publication techniques and investigate not only --> not only the individual themes of each edition, but also the definition of what is or can be a publication.</p>
<p>Each <em>Special Issue</em> addresses a specific "issue", often coordinated with outside events and collaborations, and culminates in a release party. <!-- The form of each <em>Special Issue</em> varies as a means of critically engaging with the diverse media, scales, and historical specificity of a particular issue. -->
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.</p>

Peripheral Centers and feminist servers
</div>
<div class="issue-text">
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

Signal Lost: Archive Unzipped

<div class="issue-text">
<p>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!</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.<br /></p>
<p>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.<br /></p>

Garden Leeszaal
</div>
<div class="issue-text">
<p>Dear gardener librarians, book smellers and textual explorers,<br />
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.<br />
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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

Radio Implicancies: Methods To Practice Interdependencies
</div>
<div class="issue-text">
<p>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.</p>

<p>Dear friend and online scroller,<br />
Beloved internet user,<br />
Dearest binge watcher and human being IRL,</p>
<p>We welcome you to our publication on vernacular language processing!</p>
<p>Be confident, be ambitious and be ready to fail a lot. Our Special Issue is a toolkit to mess around with language: from its standard taxonomies and tags, to its modes of organizing information and its shaping knowledge. With these tools we want to legitimize failures and amatorial practices by proposing a more vernacular understanding of language.</p>
<p>We decided to release the publication in the form of an API (Application Programming Interface).</p>

<div class="issue-text">
<p>Another lockdown; shops closed, museums closed, bars closed, cafés closed, restaurants closed. You turn to escapist media, in another attempt to climb the inner walls of a deflating castle. All that is left is the city in its rawest form and the people inhabiting its shut down structures. Where can you go if everything is closed? What could you encounter along the way? Locked within the walls of a comatose town, you are missing direction. If the city is your new playground, who are the players and what is the objective?</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.

<p>Dear OuNuPian,</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? To answer these questions, the XPUB practitioners have written software, built a bookscanner and assembled a unique printed reader.</p>

<p>Dear active archivist,</p>
<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 buildings illustrious past interact with material from various collections, including the Poortgebouws own Autonomous Archive. Here, archiving is not the end, but the beginning of a debate.</p>
<p>Join us.</p>

<p>Dear gamers,</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>
<p>Looking forward to ruin you!</p>

<h1>XPUB</h1>
<p>XPUB is the Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design: <em>Experimental Publishing</em> 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><strong>first</strong>, publishing as the inquiry and participation into the technological frameworks, political context and cultural processes through which things are made public;</p>
<p>and <strong>second</strong>, 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>
