++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 therefore twofold: 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. +
+Read more on +pzwart.nl ++Welcome to the XPUB homepage with links to tools and webpages we use in +the course. +
+An important part of the XPUB course is considering the implications of +the technologies and tools we use, how the choices have an impact +socially, environmentally, politically. In this spirit, rather than +relying heavily on cloud services, XPUB (self-) hosts and maintains many +of the servers and services that the course uses. Students learn and +practice skills of programming and server maintenance in order to gain +first hand experience with the materials of software and networks. ++SUMMONS! 7 NOV 19:00, Leeszaal +

+Special Issue #21: Interim Release
+
+
+
+
+
+
++++Special Issue #21 starts from a single technical object: a 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. +
+
+Guest Editor: Martino Morandi +

++public servers +
+
+
+Special Issues
+
+
+
+Special Issues are multi-form
+publications related to a theme initated by a guest editor and produced
+collectively by XPUB first year students.
+
+
+Graduation projects and theses
+
+
+
+
+
+Graduation projects and theses;
+representing the culmination of their two year Masters study, each XPUB
+student produces a graduation work and a thesis.
+
+
+
+Course wiki
+
+
+
+
+
+The wiki is the
+lifeblood of the course: visit the calendar
+to get an idea of a typical week, or see the list of current students to see
+traces and sketches of work in progress. NB: The wiki is shared with the
+lens-based master, items specific to XPUB are indicated by
+XPUB1 and XPUB2 (to indicate the first and second
+years). The wiki is an example of a self-hosted instance of mediawiki, the free software that
+underpins Wikipedia.
+
+
+
+Piet Zwart Institute
+
+
+
+XPUB is one of six masters programs collectively known as the Piet Zwart
+Institute.
+
+
+Willem de Kooning Academy
+
+
+
+XPUB is a part of the Willem
+de Kooning academy, and can be found on the fourth floor of the
+Wijnhaven building, with convenient access to the many facilities of the
+Art academy.
+
+
+Gitea
+
+
+
+XPUB self-hosts a gitea code
+respository. This provides a public outlet to support the many code
+works done within the course such as this
+page.
+
+
+Etherpad
+
+
+
+The XPUB etherpad is another crucial
+piece of course self-hosted infrastructure. Etherpads are all about
+realtime group collaboration with a minimum of prescriptive structures.
+Pads are used heavily in the course as a means of collective note
+taking, planning, writing and
+annotation.
++servers for students & staff +
+
+
+Hub
+
+
+
+The xpub hub is a public relay to a
+collection of self-hosted and student-maintained local servers. Using a
+combination of VPN (virtual private
+network) and reverse
+proxy, the hub enables experimentation with self-hosting, server
+portability, local-first and low power infrastructure and convivial and
+feminist
+server practices.
+
+
+Zulip
+
+
+
+The zulip server functions as a
+private bulletin board system for the XPUB community, and as a self-hosted free software acts as an
+alternative to centralized proprietary services like Slack and Discord.
+
+
+Mailing list
+
+
+
+The course uses a mailing list provided by neighbor network lurk.org.
+
+
+Hotline
+
+
+
+The hotline is a self-hosted Jitsi Meet server, an alternative to
+proprietary services like Zoom, Teams, and Meet.

+Paged.js Workshop
+
+
+
++Julie Blanc and Julien Taquet from the paged.js project share their +experiences at the intersection of design practice and technical +standards. +
++Paged.js is a rendering tool for +previewing, inspecting and designing a PDF in the browser, that is known +for specifically accommodating designers using web-to-print techniques +in their publications and book making practice. Julie and Julien both +work (or have worked) as developers on the project, so the workshop gave +students an opportunity to ask them about Paged.js as an open source +project, and what it means to develop and maintain it. A nice example of +paged.js in action is Walkie +Talkie, the 2022 XPUB graduation catalog. +
