In systems programming, an interrupt is a signal to the processor emitted by hardware or software indicating an event that needs immediate attention. | |
Interrupt request lines (IRQs). e.g. IRQ 5 (then 7) because of immediate need for audio streaming. glitch & flop. So I know it's terrible mistake to use computer architecture as metaphor for anything else so let me use it more as a poetic narrative device then a strong theoretical ground. | |
- interrupt: catalog, markus krajewski: | |
"Even if it is clear that a card catalog does not perfectly resemble the digital calculator or computer, I maintain that the card catalog is one precursor of computing.14 On the software side, the components of the catalog and its function correspond to the theoretical concept of a universal discrete machine as developed by Turing in 1936, with a writing/reading head (or scriptor), an infinite paper band partitioned into discrete steps (or slips), and an unambiguous set of instructions for reading and writing data" | |
- interrupt: public library into exclusive market logic of knowledge production. the story i usually tell is the one of french revolution. | |
- interrupt: software into profession (boundary work of a profession meets with results of boundary work done in comptuter world > software tools) | |
- librarians were not interrupt for the world just being professional. it came from their role in fantasy of universal access to knowledge for every member of society | |
