| The container of RADMIN had the upside of rendering the usual stumbling blocks and dull administrative grooves vivid and poignant, even if just a performance to ourselves. This included getting caught in each others' spam filters, the online ticket-seller software hardcoding Valentine's Day into the event description, and our out of business hours email habits triggering a starburst of out of office autoresponders. Questions of //how to be handbuilt and powerful// were vividly rendered in the sub-project of the [[https://feraltrade.org/radmin/RADMIN_READER_FINAL.pdf|RADMIN reader]], a zine-like collection of short texts and DIY endeavour by design. Graphics students from the University contributed the design and layout as part of their professional practice module. However when it came to print, fold and staple, not passing the 70-unit job over to University Print Services (a design decision) caused an operating logjam played out in the art department printer queue, where I spent almost two entire days negotiating with (supportive) IT technicians, network log-in protocols, office supply enclaves, line-management protocols, (irate) institutional hierarchies, beneficial staplers and the whole situated process of production which was really the entire point. | The container of RADMIN had the upside of rendering the usual stumbling blocks and dull administrative grooves vivid and poignant.
