Explicitly--or not--protocols determine much of what we do. Far exceeding traditional notions of "good manners," protocols are systems of language that regulate how we relate to each other, to our cultural, social, and political environments, and to the technologies that create them. The first publication to look at protocols across a wide range of disciplines, As for Protocols brings together contributions by twenty-two international artists, writers, scholars, musicians, architects, and scientists who explore protocols across various fields, foregrounding opportunities for creating new protocols that are inclusive and equitable. Through essays, artworks, interviews, and scores, the book speaks to protocols as practice--neither conventional mannerisms nor abstract concepts, but material processes, relational affinities, shared responsibilities, and mutual care.
