This sections contains syntax like [coffee|tea|cherry-beer]. In this example, if it is the first time reading this section, read "coffee", second time read "tea", etc.
Protocoller: Restart Introduction Protocol.
Performer: It is [TIME] in the [morning|evening|night] in the studio of Radio Worm. Grab a [coffee|tea|cherry-beer] and something to eat and get ready to listen. We are [Rosa, Thijs and Anita|Puppet 1, Puppet 2, Puppet 3|Anita, Rosa and Thijs], and we will be the caretakers of [todays|tomorrows|nevers] episode of Protocols for an Active Archive, the 22 Xpub special issue. We are first year students of the Experimental Publishing master course, that focuses on the acts of making things public and creating publics in the age of post-digital networks. In the past weeks, we have reflected over protocols a lot, and have come to the conclusion that they can wear many different [hats|trousers|glasses], and look different to separate [people|computers|networks].
Since we are new to [radio|radio|living] and a bit nervous about being on live broadcast, we asked the caretakers of the show from the past couple of weeks to share some of the protocols they had in place to make sure everything will run smoothly. Before we [begin|begin|end] sharing our Hitchhiker's guide to an Active Archive, we would like to encourage you to be an agile and ready-for-action listener, and most importantly - move with us while you navigate the archive!
The more times we read this section, the more we lay emphasis on the words "control", "communicate", etc Performer: Several tools will be used to produce an effective and communicative broadcast. Introducing: *The (Ether)Pad -- (semi)anonymously communicate your decisions to the care takers to control the broadcast. Use this to communicate preferred choices when a decision demands to be made. You can control decisions that are made in the studio with that and skew us in your preferred direction. Pay attention as this is a very powerful tool. *The Wiki -- Follow the path of the broadcast by navigating Wiki pages. Hitchhike your way through the Archive. Read our script and see into the future. *The Flow chart -- Look and trace where you want to go. This tool will allow you to have a broader perspective and allow you to make more educated and informed choices during this venture. Protocoller (if reading time is more then 2): Because we don't want to be stuck in a loop, right?
Protocoller: Performer, are you at your position? Performer: Present. Protocoller: Introduce yourself. Performer: I will perform and assign appropriate tone to third-party text, introductions, and informal moments.
Protocoller: Navigator, are you at your position? Navigator: Present. Protocoller: Introduce yourself. Navigator: I will pilot and navigate the listeners by keeping track of our line of communication also known as the Etherpad. I will also control sound and music.
Protocoller: Protocoller, are you at your position? Protocoller: Present. Protocoller: Introduce yourself. Protocoller: I am the protector of the protocol, I will ensure protocols are respected, enforced and correctly communicated.
IF No instructions from ground control
Stay here till the end of time. Start over and mess up the mix slightly. -->
IF ground control responded with MOVE CHANNEL up/down
🎵 Mix into wormhole clarity: wormhole-clarity.mp3
Navigator: I was able to move us out of there. Thank you Ground Control! Performer: Amazing. I was dreading having to read these texts untill the end of time Navigator: Or the beginning Protocoller: Let's move to the End of Broadcast Protocol.
IF ground control responds with clear guidance on how to get out of a wormhole
Both the Navigator, Performer and the protocoller put on their acting boots and LARP their way out of this interactive experience.
If Ground Control is unclear in communication:
Navigator: During the Content Funnel, we received some ambigous and chaotic readings from Ground Control.
Stay here till the end of time. Start over and mess up the mix slightly. -->
