Protocoller: Restart Introduction Protocol.
Performer: It is 10:01 in the morning in the studio of Radio Worm. Grab a coffee and something to eat and get ready to listen. We are Rosa, Thijs and Anita, and we will be the caretakers of todays 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, and look different to separate people.
Since we are new to radio 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 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!
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.
Let music finish before continuing.
