This era of computers was hackable by design. Sole reason this performance was possible. Products nowadays are end of life the moment they are created (related to Methodologies of reuse in the media arts exploring black boxes, tactics and archeologies). As there is no use for them, nor is it possible to intergrate in whatever future system there might be. Another variant of black boxism. Forwards compatibility. Hackable by design

Robert Henke used Sublime Text! For a assembler extension. Also, a teensy board controlled by a max pad to connect the hardware to a network. → Use what you already have at hand

Used the CBM 8032 - where the idea of extending it with additional hardware was part of its design, which was normal in this time period - as the apple II was very well documented and could be easily opened. What has changed ?? This project was possible thanks to these design choices. This is being continued by Robert Henke by the writing of these elaborate descriptions of the performance, which include schematics, and i think some of the code is also made available on github.
