TTY

Introduction

The Teletype Model 33 was one of the most widely produced and distributed text-based terminal in the 1970s, and it introduced multiple technological concretizations that are present in the computers of today as a sort of legacy, such as the QWERTY Keyboard with control keys, the ASCII character encoding and the TTY terminal capability.

This, makes this interface from 50 years ago incredibly close to the ones built in the computers we use today which gives us the possibily for a very hands-on approach to media-theory, creating short-circuits that allow us to re-think technical progress and computational genealogies.

The machine will be hosted and available for use and experimentation for the trimester, in which we will unfold together the multiple cultural and technical layers that we found stratified in such a machine, reading them as questions to our contemporary involvements with computing and networks.
