Clacks - Sending Home A Tribute
summary
A short live reading of a passage from Going Postal that shows how the clacks network uses semaphore shutters and an overhead code with flags like G, U and N to route signals; a single name — John Dearheart — keeps being sent as a plain, unaddressed packet on a neverending loop, deliberately circulated so the dead linesman stays "on the trunk." The built artifact is the continuous coded message itself, and within the story it succeeds: one repeated name keeps a person from being forgotten.
