In the past few months I have been engaging in the exegesis of source code from the 1980ies and -90ies. Serendipity towards the end of last year brought me in closer contact with the concept of ludemes, in which I found a fitting perspective on these magic moments of translation. David M. Berry outlines this processes through the computational image, Hartmut Rosa approaches it through his theories on resonance, Karen Barad talks about inter- and intra-actions, and Luhman also has an opinion on the topic. Either way, ludemes have been utterly fruitful in reading source code against a techno-deterministic grain, and as a lens into programming practices of the past.

Frustration, Conferences and Ludemes I had some things on the plate and obviously, I got stressed. And, as always, it somehow turned out quite ok. There were two conference presentations, and a self-imposed paper deadline to deal with, next to keeping several (too many) side projects running.
