Special Issue #28: Writing Machines–Protocols-Feedback

The project described here is a new iteration of a course first run in 2023 Radio Worm: Protocols for an Active Archive.
This iteration is called Writing Machines–Protocols-Feedback, and will run from September to December 2025.
The format will be a weekly live 2 hour radio program, and a “public moment” (tentatively planned for the beginning of December, 2025).
The course will be developed and run by tutors of XPUB, supported by WORM staff, and the content will be produced by XPUB1 students.
The idea is to produce and maintain a podcast feed of materials related to the program during the duration of the 3 months.
The format of the live event is described further below.
XPUB will be responsible for documenting activities related to the course, and in working with WORM for possible inclusion within their network (for instance working with Ash on materials that could be part of WORM’s Mixcloud channel).
The project will involve the assistance and cooperation of: Ash Kilmartin, Lukas Simonis, Lieuwe Zelle (Radio WORM), Michael Murtaugh (WDKA/XPUB), and XPUB prototyping + methods tutors.

Introduction to Special Issue #28: Writing Machines–Protocols–Feedback

Image:William Burroughs using the Cut-up technique

Since human beings developed the software of the alphabet, they have engineered a series of technologies to manage and enhance its power. These include storage and operating systems such as books and libraries, along with more recent (computerised) systems of information collation and dissemination.
In the twentieth century, the realisation that writing is a technology – as opposed to a "natural", direct conduit to the soul – came as a creative inspiration to many writers and artists.

the Surrealists fashioned "exquisite corpses";
the 'Pataphysicians channeled streams of consciousness;
the Oulipo group used systems of restraint to open new channels of potential literature;
the Fluxus group developed protocols for "happenings";
John Cage established restraints for composition;
the Scratch Orchestra co-wrote scores for group improvisation.
William Burroughs used various techniques, including "cut-ups", to scramble the patterns of language that he believed programmed conformity. Sometimes Burroughs folded one text into another, sometimes he collaged the (then) new media of magnetic tape.

This all sounds liberating, but in the twenty-first century we have reason to be critical of how easily the creative potential of the software of the alphabet can be commodified and pre-programmed. As knowledge transfers to ever-larger datasets, and drops into the hands of a minority who own them, we must ask again: what is our stake in the software of the alphabet?
Where is our agency when human expression through writing is understood as a code managed by a series of protocols?
What is at stake when a large dataset can claim the space of "creativity"?
Can we, through learning about how the past has been structured, shape information technologies that serve our own desires and interests?

The outcomes of Special Issue #28 will include:

a series of radio shows
writing machines (protocols, codes, Frankenstein devices) which structure the weekly radio shows
a library of such protocols and techniques will generate scripts...
to be performed (live) together...
creating and remixing existing material...
and using the scripts as improvisational prompts

Weekly schedule

Monday from 10-11 a live radio program is produced by a rotating team of XPUB students together from the Radio WORM Studio.
From 11-12:00 time will be put aside to listen and reflect on the program.
In the afternoon
1) Steve Rushton opens with a mini-presentation which provides context and gives an overview of the texts and issues to be discussed that week; followed by
2) an open session, drawing on the texts we have read over the week; and lastly
3) building or designing "rapid prototype" writing machines based on the things we have been talking about.
Tuesday = Prototyping with Manetta and/or Joseph [...] material which can feedback into the Monday Special Issue sessions and the Wednesday Methods sessions
Wednesday = Methods with Steve and/or Lidia [...] material that can feedback into the Monday Special Issue sessions and the Tuesday Prototyping sessions.

XPUB1: SI #28 – Week 0

Monday 15 September

10 - 13: Meet at WORM Boomgaardstraat 71 📍

14-17: Afternoon session (in the Aquarium WH.4.115 ✅)

Image: Living Brain, Marvel Comics (1964). See also The Living Brain by cybernetician W. Grey Walters (Second edition, 1963)

14-15:Steve Rushton will introduce the project

+ introduction to The Writing Machine Reader. Here is a list of texts
The Bootleg Library shelf for The Writing Machines Reader is here: https://hub.xpub.nl/bootleglibrary/shelf/111
+ introduction to protocols
+ Adjective, Noun, Verb, adverb = making writing machines

15-16:Thematic: The alphabet is software.

Three useful concepts: "uncreative writing"; "cognitive assemblages" and “technotexts”.

In Uncreative Writing, Managing Language in the Digital Age (2011), Kenneth Goldsmith writes: “The world is full of texts, more or less interesting; I do not wish to add any more.” [...] "faced with an unprecedented amount of available text, the problem is not needing to write more of it; instead, we must learn to negotiate the vast quantity that exists.”
In Postprint (2021) – Introducing Postprint, N. Katherine Hayles discusses the concept of "cognitive assemblages", which are "the complex, distributed networks of humans, technology, and environments that collectively perform cognitive functions."
In Writing Machines (2002) Technotexts and Media Specific Analysis – N. Katherine Hayles introduces the concept of “technotext,”, which is: “a literary work that reflects within itself the technological conditions of its composition and production.”
In this session we will draw of historical examples from The Oulipo Group, William Burroughs and Brion Gysin's cut-up works along with examples from Lillian-Yvonne Bertram and Nick Montford's – Output – an Anthology of Computer Generated Text 1953-2023 (2024). We will discuss how these works relate to the idea of humans and machines writing together within "cognitive assemblages" and to what degree these examples represent "technotexts".

11:15 - 13:00: Broadcast debrief / discussion
13:00 - 14:00: Lunch break
14:00 - 15:00: This afternoon we will look at some “open ended media systems” from the 1960s and early 1970s, including House of Dust; Ant Farm and Radical Software

We will be looking at:
Alison Knowles – House of Dust (1967) – on line version– https://nickm.com/memslam/the_house_of_dust.html
Intro to Alison Knowles' House of Dust (for context): https://fonderiedarling.org/depliant%20house%20of%20dust%20complet%20EN.pdf Maud Jacquin and Sébastien Pluot – House of Dust Journal (2016)
https://monoskop.org/images/1/15/Knowles_Alison_The_House_of_Dust_Research_Journal_2016.pdf
Here is an example of output generated by Alison Knowles’ House of Dust (1967)

"A HOUSE OF WOOD
UNDER WATER
USING NATURAL LIGHT
INHABITED BY FRIENDS

A HOUSE OF LEAVES
IN A METROPOLIS
USING ALL AVAILABLE LIGHTING
INHABITED BY ALL RACES OF MAN REPRESENTED WEARING PREDOMINANTLY RED CLOTHING

A HOUSE OF ROOTS
IN AN OVERPOPULATED AREA
USING ELECTRICITY
INHABITED BY HORSES AND BIRDS…

A HOUSE OF WOOD
IN A METROPOLIS
USING ELECTRICITY
INHABITED BY FRIENDS AND ENEMIES"

Lejaren Hiller (pictured) and John Cage wrote their harpsichord, tape and computer work HPSCHD in 1967-69

Steve will talk briefly about the links between cybernetics, the Fluxus art movement and (media) ecology pioneers Ant Farm and Radical Software.

Steve's Notes on those issues here: Steve's Notes 3-11-25

15:15-17:00 work on writing machines and/or annotations; preparation for the Worm event, A Mazing Machines.

Note: Steve has uploaded the notes from last week and added a little about a feedback machine called, the Homeostat (a 'do-nothing' machine). This makes a link between the "media ecology" of groups like Radical Software and more general ecological issues which became increasingly vital since the 1960s.

14:00 - 17:00: Afternoon session: Marloes de Valk, Soft Technology and Appropriate Technology

Pages from the Whole Earth Catalog; Build Your Own Computer C.1970

Last week's Methods session raised the question:
What kind of technology do we WANT?
This afternoon, Marloes will present a brief overview of different (old and new) (re)definitions of technology she researched. She will go into more detail, providing historical examples of soft tech and appropriate tech and what happened to them (why did one disappear and the other become mainstream?).
We will consider how the different writing machines discussed during the special issue relate to media/technology and what kind of approach they had to language (as technology or as culture (or both)).

Cover of Soft-Tech (1978), co-edited by Stewart Brand; the book was an off-shoot of Co-evolutionary Quarterly (early 70s)

-'''XPUB''' is the 2 years Master program in Experimental Publishing at the Willem de Kooning Academy, part of the Hogeschool Rotterdam (http://xpub.nl). XPUB focuses on the acts of making things public and creating publics in the age of post-digital networks.
-'''Radio WORM''' (https://radio.worm.org) is an online radio platform at the heart of WORM Rotterdam. Their studio hosts audio production of all descriptions (sound art, experimental music, interviews, mixes, informal reporting and in-depth talk-based series), with over 80 resident shows as well as a shifting schedule of one-off events, mini-series and special guests.
-'''WORM Pirate Bay''' (http://thepiratebay.worm.org/) is a physical archive and working facility at WORM comprising DVDs, VHS tapes, zines, books, CDs, board games and other remnants from WORM’s production history. WPB is about unconventional knowledge sharing and artistic production that might not be valued by traditional understandings of high art.
-The project will involve the assistance and cooperation of: Ash Kilmartin, Lukas Simonis, Lieuwe Zelle (Radio WORM), Ari Ralph (Worm Pirate Bay), and Florian Cramer, Michael Murtaugh (WDKA/XPUB), and XPUB prototyping + methods tutors.

-'''A NOTE FROM THE LOGISTICS TEAM:'''<br>
-Resources needed: on your wiki project page, let us know if you need '''power, lighting and internet''' for your installation. It would also be appreciated if you could provide '''a list of other equipment needed''' (example: table, lamps, chairs, etc…). Also '''leave a not if you have any equipment that is on the list'''.
-Event timings: for the jam session and text-to-speech to text to music, think about a potential timing for your event. The rest of the artworks/ installations will be working throughout the entire event. You can also list down this info on the wiki project page.
-Space requirements (floorplan): on Monday, we will discuss the floorpan together, but during the weekend- you can think about how much space you would need during the event.
