twitchplaysplotter is a project inspired by TwitchPlaysPokemon in which a pen plotter can be controlled through the chat of a Twitch livestream. This project was initiated both to experiment with the collaborative and performative nature of plotters, and to facililate participation of pen plotter enthusiasts who were not able to make it to our pen plotting events physically.

Pen Plotting Party Rotterdam

After a testrun during the XPUB party in December, we organised a dedicated pen plotter party on 2024-02-12, celebrating the collaborative, performative and expertimental practise we've been exploring so far at XPUB. We showcased lots of examples (like a horse zine and Crosshatching experiments), had interactive activities (like pen plotted mazes, twitchplaysplotter) and published a zine

Pen Plotting Party Brussels

• In collaboration with Brussels based collective OSP, part of the Meyboom Festival

We collaborated with OSP to host another Pen Plotting Party, part of the Meyboom Festival. We gave a presentation on the physicality and collaborative nature of Pen Plotters, showed some of our experiments and were live with Twitch Plays Plotter for people to join the party remotely.

Radio

XPUB: Protocols for an Active Archive

The first year of our master programme Experimental Publishing is divided into three collaborative projects. As part of the first project, we collaborated with Radio WORM to make a weekly radio show (read more at Radio WORM's website) looking at techno-social protocols. For these shows, we created experimental soundscapes, conducted interviews, made interactive choose-your-own-adventure radio play, did improv, and more.
