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 Martino Morandi each week hosted a guest contributor who joined us in unfolding the many cultural and technical layers that we found strdtifies in such a machine, reading them as questions to our involvements with computing and with networks.
The format of the issue consisted of on an on-going publishing arrangement, constantly re-considered.. the Briki, the Breadbrick, the Worm Blob. A plan to release weekly bricks was roofed by a shared understanding of time into something more complex in structure, less structured in complexity.
CARE-TAKING MAPS
Initially, the week's caretakers were responsible for collecting materials from our guest contributions, which included lectures, collective readings, hands-on exercises, an excursion to the Telecom Museum, Rotterdam and another to Constant, Brussels. The caretakers were responsible for recording audio, editing notes, transcribing code, taking pictures. Meanwhile the week's editors were responsible for coming up with a further step in how the publishing progressed, by adding new connections and interfaces, creating languages, plotting strikes and cherishing memories.
