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"

Public Library is the synergy of two efforts. First, it makes the case for the institution of public library and its principle of universal access to knowledge. Second, it is an exploration and development of distributed internet infrastructure for amateur librarians.

A public library one of those almost invisible infrastructures that we start to notice only once they go extinct. A place where all people can get access to all knowledge that can be collected seemed for a long time a dream beyond reach – until the egalitarian impetus of social revolutions, the Enlightenment idea of universality of knowledge, and the exceptional suspension of the commercial barriers of copyright made it possible.

The Internet has, as in many other situations, completely changed our expectations and imagination about what is possible. The dream of a catalogue of the world – a universal access to all available knowledge for every member of society – became realizable. A question merely of the meeting of curves on a graph: the po

Od svojih početaka u 18. stoljeću institucija javne knjižnice razvijala se u graničnom prostoru procesa koji sve što je čvrsto i postojano pretvara u dim. Nije dopuštala da barijere klase i čelična logika tržišta diktiraju tko ima pristup znanju i obrazovanju kao sredstvima u promjeni svijeta. Oskudnost znanja kao robe u susretu s javnom knjižnicom pretvarala se u dim. Ne čudi stoga da intenzivna komercijalizacija obrazovanja proteklih desetljeća i aktualne mjere štednje ciljaju izbrisati prostor zajedničkog bivanja, spoznavanja i djelovanja, a režim intelektualnog vlasništva samu ideju o univerzalnom pristupu znanju za svakog člana društva. Taj jaz između društvene mogućnosti i društvene zbilje samo se produbio dostupnošću znanja koje je donijelo internetsko doba.

Izložba Javna knjižnica ispituje mogućnosti koje internetski svijet donosi organiziranju i širenju znanja, aktiviranju arhiva u promjenu svijeta i širenju knjižnice kao prostora društvene solidarnosti. Javna knjižnica brine i nosi kolektivno sjeća

The need and then creation of a system to identify every particular book in an archive or repository has a long history.  An invention and iterative development of a card catalog, as we know it today,  a universal discrete machine which stores, processes and transfers data[^paper_machines] took several centuries. However, only in late 1960. when computer technology began to become an important part of trade publishers came up with a standardized numeric identifier (ISBN[^isbn]) describing (only) a geographical or language area, publisher and a specific edition and title of the book.

It's hard to imagine a book today which is not prepared and processed as a digital file before it gets published. Still, unique book identifier in use is created by bureaucracy (for bureaucracy) and as a consequence it only reflects book's context related to commerce - nothing else.

Today's available digital books are coming from many different sources: a comprehensive scanning projects like Internet archive, National Library of

In What Was Revolutionary about the French Revolution?[^i] Robert Darnton considers how a complete collapse of the social order (when absolutely everything – all social values – is turned upside down) would look. Such trauma happens often in the life of individuals but only rarely on the level of an entire society.

In 1789 the French had to confront the collapse of a whole social order—the world that they defined retrospectively as the Ancien Régime—and to find some new order in the chaos surrounding them. They experienced reality as something that could be destroyed and reconstructed, and they faced seemingly limitless possibilities, both for good and evil, for raising a utopia and for falling back into tyranny.[^ii]

The revolution bootstraps itself.

In the dictionaries of the time, the word revolution was said to derive from the verb to revolve and was defined as “the return of the planet or a star to the same point from which it parted.”[^iii] French political vocabulary spread no further than the narro

In Zagreb, from May 27th - June 07th the Public Library will get into another iteration in the form of a conference and an exhibition organized by Multimedia institute [^mi2] and WHW[^whw]. Public Library is the synergy of two efforts. First, it makes the case for the institution of public library and its principle of universal access to knowledge. Second, it is an exploration and development of distributed internet infrastructure for amateur librarians.

Public Library was launched at HAIP Festival in Ljubljana in 2012 and after its start the project got a lot of recognition and invitations for lectures, workshops and presentations (e.g. Transmediale (Berlin), Reina Sofia Museum (Madrid), 98weeks (Beirut), Impakt festival (Utrecht)...[^timeline]).

After Ljubljana and Stuttugart, organized in partnership with Württembergischer Kunstverein & Akademie Schloss Solitude (2014), the event in Zagreb will be the third time that program is conceptualized after the claim that certain place is transformed into public

# Streamify FTW

When Andrea and I started to talk about this talk the first proposal was to talk about music industry and in particular streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, Groveshark but also Soundcloud, Mixcloud or more from the past like Last.FM. I said Nooo. Talking about music industry and what they do reminds me about so much whining, blaming, complaining and in general frustration. And that all happens at the time when music was never this accessible and as much easy to create, distribute and enjoy. I don't want to say that the current time where we live in is the time we shouldn't complain about, shouldn't be frustrated or even raged about. Or that the way how technology is in use by corporations to make profit is a good thing. Or that asymmetries of power are something we should be quiet about.  No. Of course not. Exactly the opposite.

Still I couldn't get rid of the music references. These are the first two which came to my mind and draft I sent to Andrea right after our first conversa
