  1. “ServPub is an experimental platform for research and practice on experimental and computational publishing, to reflect collectively on affective infrastructures, minor tech and autonomous networks within, and beyond, institutional constraints. …Participating communities/institutions include CSNI at LSBU, Creative Computing Institute at UAL, SHAPE at Aarhus University, In-grid, Systerserver, and Varia.” (ServPub)
  2. “The writer professes a hope that ‘The House of Commons passes an Act to put down all Machinery hurtful to Commonality, and repeal that to hang Frame Breakers.'” (Binfield, 2004, p57)
  3. “In probably the best example of such validation, the frame-work knitters or stockingers, who launched the Luddite protests in Nottingham in 1811, justified their actions by referring to their own originary or constitutive charter, the 1663 Charter of the Company of Framework Knitters.” (Binfield, 2004, p.22)
  4. “protocological analysis must focus on the possible and the impossible.” (Galloway, 2004, p53)
  5. In WiFi communication the bandwidth refers to 20MHz sectors of frequency. Devices can usually be configured to work within a different sector within the range, if needed, to evade interference. This adaptability is limited by law, the protocol standards and the specific architecture of the antenna. (See also attached table)
  6. The microcontrollers I am using are based on the Wemos D1 Mini development board. These make use of the ESP8266 Espressif microchip. I have programmed them using the Arduino IDE.    •    “Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software." (Arduino, 2018) Arduino is a popular choice for hobbyists to experiment with electronics, often utilising sensors and other components. The IDE is based on the experimental coding IDE Processing, whilst the programming language was based on Wiring (which was also based on Processing)    •    Espressif is a Chinese semiconductor producer. They are described as a world leading AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) company. By late 2023 they had shipped over 1 billion chips.(Espressif, 2023) They are well known for their ESP range of chips which feature networking components such as WiFi. Their devices are designed to work with Espressif's own open-source SDKs as well as other alternatives, such as Arduino.
  7. These microcontrollers are commonly used by artists, experimentally exploiting the networking capabilities. For example, see: Iffy Books (Pocket Wifi Portal Zine, 2022) based on work by Dennis De Bel and Meltronica & MerrittSoft. They are also used extensively in conventional ways as building blocks of networks.
