[[File:IMG 4397.PNG|thumb|Sadie and I in the booth]] | |||
On Monday, I introduced Sadie to the CDJ at radio WORM and we made a show together!! It was amazing and really fun both teaching somebody and learning to play with someone else, respond to music with music and dance with a friend. I went to Conversas #179 and listened to Marjolein Kok talk about Participatory Archeology, Colonial Archeology and ethics of it. https://amp.theguardian.com/news/2024/mar/28/sites-of-resistance-threatened-african-burial-grounds-around-the-world she mentioned this specific burial ground research which is also turned into a documentary later on. It was really interesting | |||
I listened to Kim's show Vulvaverse on RadioWORM and it had this excerpt from it about performing: | |||
''I have trouble staying on stage because it reinforces the 4th wall that is necessary for entertainment. Even though I perform, I don’t think of what I do as entertainment. It’s not about amusement and distraction. I want to channel energy, sending it back and forth, touching that deep nerve of pre-word thought, creating a space and bringing people into it with me. Every person in the room is implicated. '' | |||

I find this very interesting and want to put it into my reader.[[File:IMG 4381.JPG|left|thumb|Attendees of the workshop touching the radio cable all together to create a different signal]][[File:58E70187-0DE9-4708-BDA4-7595F4827E9E.JPG|thumb|shortwave receiver of a friend]]I also joined the Shortwave receiver workshop with martina and we built our own radio receivers.

I read about Rotary Phone hacking and learned about BlueBoxes and Phone Phreaking. From here: https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Based-Blue-Box-phreaking/ | |||
Fred looked into this blog post: https://marks.kitchen/blog/rotary_phone_running_linux/ which refers to: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2016/01/my-payphone-runs-linux-now/ and that article also goes back to Blue Boxes especially because it was the first business plan of Steve jobs. | |||
I also want to make a soundboard with bike bells>piezo speaker>reverb box for the event. | |||
I am a part of the Post-Production group for the event and I'd like to think about ways of archiving sound in the space, during before and after maybe? | |||

"Marc Buchy’s plant work reinterprets the research of Carl von Linné and his idea of chronobiology. In 1751, the Swedish naturalist drew up a list of flowers that opened and closed at specific times. Linné then suggested that it would be possible to read the time based on the movement of their corollas. Planted from east to west, the installation invites us to wander around and observe these small changes. By inserting his work in the heart of Besançon, the artist wanted to integrate himself into the city’s flow but also to engage in dialogue with its working-class and political history. | |||
Open to the landscape, the work overlooks the city from which stands out the bell tower of the Saint-Jean cathedral housing an astronomical clock, the starting point of Buchy’s reflection. In the background, the horizon of the Jura massif inscribes the work in the landscape and its extrahuman time. This temporal dimension is in dissonance with that of flowers, but also with that of smartphones, consulted by visitors wishing to obtain information on the dedicated site. Finally, elusive bees, a hive of which has been installed nearby, crisscross the terrain in their own way. How I learned to stop worrying and to love the revolution thus turns out to be a vast constructed situation that considers the present as a superposition of various layers of perceptions and understandings." | |||

Week 5 07-12 Oct
Issue! Assignment
Michael's Assignment is not going well however I have been looking at other sources of audio, even though I know it would lead me nowhere.
https://vintagemusicsamples.wordpress.com/
audio collections from archive.org:
https://archive.org/details/vaporwave
https://archive.org/details/eastvillageradio
Also a nice coincidence The BBC sound effects archive just opened up to public use(?https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/licensing ) and is also up for grabs if you want to use it commercially.
https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/search
As I looked more into the search engine here is what I don't know what to do with:
I find it interesting that there is a 'rights' tab where you can sort the results according to the 'rights' defined by the contributor. However, these rights are usually stories about how the media is gathered which is really interesting and fun but useless when it comes to actual information. On one instance I found the email of the contributor(of a documentary) on the rights section, which was the original director of the documentary itself.
I found
is a common licensing type when it comes to wiki related articles which is defined by the Creative Commons as:
This license enables reusers to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format, so long as attribution is given to the creator. The license allows for commercial use. If you remix, adapt, or build upon the material, you must license the modified material under identical terms. CC BY-SA includes the following elements:
BY: credit must be given to the creator.
SA: Adaptations must be shared under the same terms.
It also made me think of this book I used to have and lent to a friend, it was about creative licenses. I found it in a second hand book store in Vienna. I picked it up because a research centre in Istanbul was one of the contributors. Naturally I went looking for it online. It turns out this research centre has a database as well and it works very similar to archive.org's advanced search function: Here it is
The really annoying thing about this search function is it is unclear how we can pull through the actual names given for these categories. For example I can search for : Sevgi, audio, eng which will give me audio files listed under [eng] but not English. I think it is a side-effect of collective working that creates personal categories and it is unclear or unattainable how to get all of these categories under 1 single category we can all agree on. I like that this function allows Archive.org to be very accommodating but maybe it is just bad library action.
I'm also reediting my Soundboard and I looked into the tone.js lib. Which redirects users to: https://wiki.laptop.org/go/Free_sound_samples, which then redirects to (this was a jumpscare for me) ARCHIVE.ORG I'm so tired. >https://archive.org/download/Berklee44v5
It seems like all these Berklee samples are protected under > Attribution 3.0 <, a licensing that requires :
- Attribution — You must give appropriate credit , provide a link to the license, and . You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
- No additional restrictions — You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.
I don't think any tone.js user does this but it is interesting to reach to another type of Archive.org 'license' data example via tone.js... It is all connected isn't it...
I saw this on Kim's website: https://boockup.marco.land/ he also made this mockup website: https://repro.marco.land/

09.10.2024 Lidia's Class - Theory
I am sick today and Ari scolded me for going to class and potentially making other people sick... In the name of community care today I stay at home and I want to make something at home. Ash told me about the Call Sign cards made for Radio Makers and there is such a visual pattern to it, I love all of them. I want to make a workshop for RadioMakers with Call Sign cards but I want to code something for it first. A preliminary card template which can be translated into a hybrid project, I think it would be hella dope if the print button gave you 12 cards with cut marks wouldn't it? I will try to do it today and maybe even read the text Lidia gave us:

Here is something nice I found on bootleg lib, an xpub pub:
https://hub.xpub.nl/bootleglibrary/read/907/pdf
I find this interesting this week, it reminds me of Dayna Casey's project Collapsed Mythologies: A Geofinancial Atlas (Spector Books, 2024)-why the hell is this book not release yet-:
https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/radical-care-embracing-feminist-finance/
I find this review of Trouble Every Day really interesting: https://www.everythingishorrible.net/p/the-shallow-genre-trash-of-trouble
I also find the news about the Forward Poetry Prize winner of 2024, Victoria Chang, is inspired by Agnes Martin. I have read a lot about and of Agnes Martin and I will definitely check out Victoria Chang's work. [4]

Today we tried to explode Mixcloud tracks. It was really fun but I got virtually nothing out of it. But now I understand bash / node / chmod / cd / ls etc. much better now. https://hub.xpub.nl/cerealbox/~manetta/cloudmix/yt-dlp/SI25-week-1.html > I like this link because it shows the js code for let and it is very clear how to use it.

Week 7 21-28 Oct
Michael's Special Issue
Michael brought us some books and music, I looked at Reading like a Computer and Last Night Bus Stop Yoga Pants by Unknown Unknowns (Angie Waller) : https://www.unknownunknowns.org/about
And the KLF Manifesto: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manual : https://freshonthenet.co.uk/the-manual-by-the-klf/

Kim brought a book she got from t from this website: link
She told us she knows the designer of this book Fred brought: sinkhole:three crimes This person: http://julianmader.de/
The book was published by Montez Press: https://montezpress.com/ They have a radio as well: https://radio.montezpress.com/#/
I've decided to build a shelving system for my reader. Martina says I can make a corresponding website which I update from time to time to make it an ongoing archival project where I exercise digitising and pirating.
Week 8 Autumn Break
On Monday, I introduced Sadie to the CDJ at radio WORM and we made a show together!! It was amazing and really fun both teaching somebody and learning to play with someone else, respond to music with music and dance with a friend. I went to Conversas #179 and listened to Marjolein Kok talk about Participatory Archeology, Colonial Archeology and ethics of it. https://amp.theguardian.com/news/2024/mar/28/sites-of-resistance-threatened-african-burial-grounds-around-the-world she mentioned this specific burial ground research which is also turned into a documentary later on. It was really interesting
I listened to Kim's show Vulvaverse on RadioWORM and it had this excerpt from it about performing:
I have trouble staying on stage because it reinforces the 4th wall that is necessary for entertainment. Even though I perform, I don’t think of what I do as entertainment. It’s not about amusement and distraction. I want to channel energy, sending it back and forth, touching that deep nerve of pre-word thought, creating a space and bringing people into it with me. Every person in the room is implicated.
taken from: https://elevate.at/en/details/news/interview-music-pharmakon/
I find this very interesting and want to put it into my reader.
I also joined the Shortwave receiver workshop with martina and we built our own radio receivers. It was incredibly inspiring:
https://www.shortwavecollective.net/living-radio-lab.html
This was a very interesting part, the living radio lab. We went to the roof of A Tale of A Tub and tried our receivers there.
I read about Rotary Phone hacking and learned about BlueBoxes and Phone Phreaking. From here: https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Based-Blue-Box-phreaking/
Fred looked into this blog post: https://marks.kitchen/blog/rotary_phone_running_linux/ which refers to: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2016/01/my-payphone-runs-linux-now/ and that article also goes back to Blue Boxes especially because it was the first business plan of Steve jobs.
I also want to make a soundboard with bike bells>piezo speaker>reverb box for the event.
I am a part of the Post-Production group for the event and I'd like to think about ways of archiving sound in the space, during before and after maybe?
I am also really inspired but this visual and I started creating an API page(this is it so far: https://hub.xpub.nl/cerealbox/~sevgi/getdata.html) with the idea of it kinda:
Week 9 04-11 Nov
Michael's Class
We talked about our development on the course and our main interests so far. We listened to: https://soundcloud.com/fedoriko/useless-movement which is also really interesting, I'd love to play it on the radio some time. Terre's new singles snippets: https://www.comatonse.com/releases/c033.html#c033ep3
We looked into this: http://publicrec.org/archive/2-01/2-01-014/2-01-014.html > the documentation of the show. Michael showed us the CD and I dropped it on my muffin, smearing a drop of jam on it... I am sorry Michael.

from Boundary Objects and Beyond, Working with Leigh Star:
Envoi: When Shadows Become Complex: Weaving the Ŋ anmarra (Where she talks about Quilting Bee's: https://worldquilts.quiltstudy.org/americanstory/creativity/quiltingbee, also found this bit of essay about the future of quilting: https://doyoueq.com/coffee_break/penny-tells-the-future-february-2010/)
and
Afterword: On the Distributedness of Leigh (this one was very sad)
Here is : Epicpedia . I think it is a really nice way of using the wiki api
This is the last bit of the etherpad of the day, Fred added this for us to reach some other apis:

This is what Kim did with the pziwiki api: https://hub.xpub.nl/cerealbox/~kim/mediawiki-api3/
Manetta made this page using the mixcloud api: https://hub.xpub.nl/cerealbox/~manetta/platforms/mixcloud-room/room.html
Fred showed me this webpage: https://clickclickclick.click/#46aa11092e5509f586ffced86d5d3def , which is really interesting
Manetta also showed us this website: https://everest-pipkin.com/projects/shellsong I really like how this project connects to data collecting in a human way: The piece reminds us that data is people, both in representations of data that is collected but also tools built by people to collect this data.
Lidia's Methods
Here is Charlie's html of the text we are reading:
https://hub.xpub.nl/cerealbox/~charlie/TheTruthOfFact_TheTruthOfFeeling_TedChiang.html it is beautiful.
Lidia suggested I look into these projects by XPUB alumni:
https://project.xpub.nl/to-whom-it-may-affect/
https://project.xpub.nl/social-shelves-project/
These are my words for the alphabet soup from today:
overtone window
maths washing
traditional literacy
criss-crossing
ubiquitous
optimism
Lidia suggests us this book: Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy Oneil
Technodeterminism
Do Artifacts Have Politics? by LANGDON WINNER https://matthewjbrown.net/teaching-files/philtech/winner-artifacts.pdf
> Marjolein Kok and Participatory Archeology ?
Fred figured out how to connect a mic to the old telephone today, it works great. he showed me how to connect the wires correctly and where we went wrong before. he also found out how to connect a carbon mic to power then making it work.
i keep thinking about this one project joseph showed us : the roll of transparent fabric that reacts to light sensors and makes music, kinda like a pimped up pianola. It would be really nice to have that and an embroidery workshop... I'd love to make that happen but it requires so much organization...
I also want to do the guitar string project but it seems sooo complicated to me right now, I don't know if it could be done before the jam session.
Shortwave collective just announced they are a part of an Acoustic Ecology seminar which sounds really interesting and exciting. it reminded me of Ischtar's sound catching workshop on the island back in August. It was magical and lovely, we looked at baby woodpeckers.

"Marc Buchy’s plant work reinterprets the research of Carl von Linné and his idea of chronobiology. In 1751, the Swedish naturalist drew up a list of flowers that opened and closed at specific times. Linné then suggested that it would be possible to read the time based on the movement of their corollas. Planted from east to west, the installation invites us to wander around and observe these small changes. By inserting his work in the heart of Besançon, the artist wanted to integrate himself into the city’s flow but also to engage in dialogue with its working-class and political history.
Open to the landscape, the work overlooks the city from which stands out the bell tower of the Saint-Jean cathedral housing an astronomical clock, the starting point of Buchy’s reflection. In the background, the horizon of the Jura massif inscribes the work in the landscape and its extrahuman time. This temporal dimension is in dissonance with that of flowers, but also with that of smartphones, consulted by visitors wishing to obtain information on the dedicated site. Finally, elusive bees, a hive of which has been installed nearby, crisscross the terrain in their own way. How I learned to stop worrying and to love the revolution thus turns out to be a vast constructed situation that considers the present as a superposition of various layers of perceptions and understandings."

someone made a project measuring their bio times(blinking, steps, heart rate) based on the medieval method of timing while cooking: repeat this bible verse 5 times and then the next step happens, etc.
