How Kitchen Table Press Changed Publishing
Founded by Black women for all women of color, the press issued such revolutionary works as This Bridge Called My Back.

“We really need to do something about publishing,” Audre Lorde said to fellow writer Barbara Smith in a 1980 phone conversation. It was that phone call that launched Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press.(...)

The User Condition #01 with Silvio Lorusso @entreprecariat

What are the conditions for a computer user to gain agency, defined here as the ability to evade automatisms? What is the user’s horizon of autonomy within a built world made of software programmed by somebody else, when its logic is made inaccessible in the name of convenience? (...)

Lena Platonos Predicted Our Computer-Crazed Future on 1985’s “Gallop”

https://daily.bandcamp.com/hidden-gems/lena-platonos-gallop-review

"After completing studies abroad, where she came into contact with new sounds, such as the ones produced at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Platonos returned to Greece. While taking part in the production of a children’s radio show, she became part of a tight-knit group of avant-garde musicians who gathered at the Contemporary Music Research Center (KYSME-CMRC). The KYMSE-CCMR in Athens, much like the San Francisco Tape Music Center, was founded and run by artists: a place where they could gather, study, and experiment with new equipment. Like American Buchla pioneer Suzanne Cianni, Platonos found an extension of her voice in a Yamaha CS-60, a novelty instrument that she would be the first in her country to use in a recording."

Laughter, pauses, uncertain expressions, breaths, sounds of discomfort and pleasure.

Gossip in any language can be a fast, low-in-volume way of speaking, sounding like murmuring often including slang. This way of speaking happening between immigrants may sound blurry to the ears. Without the understanding of the words the speaking becomes a melody, a sound missing the logical meaning. This may be annoying for the outsiders but at the same time it is a familiar, joyful, shared and supportive space for the ones that had to leave their home. Even more for the ones that often don't have the public platforms to share their concerns and solve their problems, and they are not supported by the systems (legal, economic, cultural, political) they live in. The 'Gossip Gaps' embraces these discomforts in the ear of some listeners and the fast murmurings of despair and pleasure.
