+*Printers are one of the biggest frustrations that modern technology has brought us. During the second Extratonal Special event, [https://extratonal.org/](the platform for extratonality) turns these frustrations upside down. Artisans are invited to bring modified fragile printing devices that print in poetic ways, form a unity with their operators, are repaired on the fly, will be played like a musical instrument, connect people to form friendships, and so on, and so forth... Together we explore the hedonic performative aspect of exceptional printers.*
+
+*There will be printing, not only for the print, but also for the sake of printing itself. Printing devices themselves are radicalized through modification and imagination. Come to this must-attend printer camp full of DIY&DIWO action, and printing by/with unique printers!*

+
+**Igor Bobeldijk** presents a prototype for a novel communications device based on the collaborative drawing game Cadavre Exquis popularised by the surrealists. In this game participants take turns in completing a drawing, seeing only a small part of what was drawn before, often resulting in an unexpected dialogue between the drawing's co-creators. Take part in a digitized version of the game where the results will be printed on a receipt.

+
+*(Not) Jammed* is an interactive installation through which **DuctTape Collective** breaks free from the notion of carefulness around technology. They give the viewer an opportunity to explore what can be done with a printer outside the constraints of its intended use. The work invites you to engage with a dot matrix printer named Scott and to actively participate in the production process behind printmaking.

+
+**Sadie Girigorie** develops tools which facilitate community-driven sharing and reimagines them from a decolonial and anticapitalist perspective. A touching interface is a printer which embraces affect and slow processes as a subversive gesture. By counteracting the removing of excess, affect, bodies and our deepest emotion Sadie built a printer which prints poetry, the language of affect, which is activated by touching the embroidery it is adorned with.

+
+*Modular Matter* is an experimental tool that playfully re-imagines print design workflows through the concept of modular synthesis. The instrument offers an unconventional, tangible, and modular approach to creating and performing (typo)graphical layouts. Behind this project is **Jian Haake** (she/her), a designer, workshop facilitator and experimental maker with a critical and collaborative understanding of publishing processes.
