        <content type="html"><p>We refreshed <a href="/history/"><strong>History</strong></a> and <a href="/editors/"><strong>Editors</strong></a> with material mined from the Fabricatorz Foundation site, Clément Renaud’s public writing, and Christopher Adams’s portfolio—so SCALE’s catalog reads as one continuous story from UCSD through Qi Hardware to today’s imprint.</p>
<span id="continue-reading"></span><h3 id="what-we-added-to-history">What we added to History</h3>
<p>The <a href="/history/">history page</a> now traces threads that were scattered across host sites:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>OpenMoko → Qi Hardware → SCALE 2019</strong> — the weekly program at scale.qihardware.org</li>
<li><strong>Cryptology (January 2020)</strong> — Shenzhen workshop and public exhibition at Qi Hardware’s ten-year mark, including Matt Hope’s <em>Miner Arch</em>, on the runway to COVID-19</li>
<li><strong>Qiware and the book era</strong> — Wuhan open call (February 2020), anthology design, Multiplier, Sensorium</li>
<li><strong>June 2024</strong> — Qi Hardware and Qiware granted to <a href="https://phi.company">Phi</a>; <strong>SCALE Publishing</strong> remains with the <a href="https://fabricatorz.org">Fabricatorz Foundation</a>, which hosts this site</li>
</ul>
<p>A new subsection documents <strong>Fabricatorz Foundation</strong> as host: open hardware, experimental art and technology, cultural preservation, and archive work (Open Clip Art, Libre Graphics Meeting, Artifaq, ArtCrimes).</p>
<h3 id="what-we-added-to-editors">What we added to Editors</h3>
<p>Editor bios are expanded with SCALE-specific context:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Jonathan Phillips</strong> — 2004 founding, 2019 weekly relaunch, Cryptology, book releases, Phi/Fabricatorz split</li>
<li><strong>Clément Renaud</strong> — computers as writing systems, China practice since 2008, Cryptology, Wuhan co-editing with Dino Ge Zhang, 2019 weekly appearance</li>
<li><strong>Christopher Adams</strong> — Taipei art production and code, <em>Wuhan</em> design (CC0, 2021), Multiplier essay, ArtCrimes / <a href="https://www.graffiti.org">graffiti.org</a> for Fabricatorz</li>
</ul>
<p>Each editor still links to an independent site; the editors page is the SCALE-facing view.</p>
<h3 id="sources">Sources</h3>
<p>Research drew on <a href="https://fabricatorz.org">fabricatorz.org</a> (RSS), <a href="https://clementrenaud.com">clementrenaud.com</a> (blog and project pages), and <a href="https://christopheradams.io">christopheradams.io</a> (Atom feed at <code>/feed.xml</code>). Clément Renaud does not publish a public RSS feed; his archive lives on his site.</p>
<h3 id="still-missing">Still missing</h3>
<p>The history page’s <strong>What’s Missing?</strong> section is unchanged in ambition: fill SCALE month by month and week by week until the present. If you hold Records, PDFs, or correspondence from the 2005–2018 gap or missing 2019 weeks, write <strong>up@scalepublishing.com</strong>—we can feed this publishing house together.</p>

        <summary type="html"><p><strong>SCALEPUBLISHING</strong> has a new site symbol: <strong>△</strong> (Unicode <strong>U+25B3</strong>, <em>white up-pointing triangle</em>). You will see it in the masthead beside the publisher name, in the browser tab favicon, and on home-screen icons when you save the site to your phone.</p></summary>
        <content type="html"><p><strong>SCALEPUBLISHING</strong> has a new site symbol: <strong>△</strong> (Unicode <strong>U+25B3</strong>, <em>white up-pointing triangle</em>). You will see it in the masthead beside the publisher name, in the browser tab favicon, and on home-screen icons when you save the site to your phone.</p>
<span id="continue-reading"></span><h3 id="what-changed">What changed</h3>
<p>The imprint previously used <strong>⟁</strong> (U+27C1, a nested-triangle mathematical sign). That glyph was dense at favicon size and easy to clip in small squares. <strong>△</strong> is simpler: one upward triangle, readable from 16×16 pixels up through the masthead, still in SCALE purple (<strong>#800080</strong>).</p>
<p>Updated assets:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Masthead</strong> — <code>config.extra.symbol</code> → △</li>
<li><strong>Favicon</strong> — <code>favicon.svg</code>, <code>favicon.ico</code></li>
<li><strong>Apple touch icon</strong> — <code>apple-touch-icon.png</code></li>
<li><strong>Theme color</strong> — mobile browser chrome (<code>#800080</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Root logo</strong> — <code>logo.svg</code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="why-a-triangle">Why a triangle</h3>
<p>SCALE publishes at many scales—monthly journals, weekly editions, book-length anthologies—<em>knowledge for a world of limited resources</em>. The triangle points up: lift, measure, index. It echoes the nested marks in older SCALE print logos without requiring the full Inkscape geometry in every chrome slot.</p>
<p>The geometric logos under <code>static/img/logo/</code> remain part of the archive; the <strong>live site mark</strong> is now the Unicode triangle for clarity and consistency across templates.</p>
<h3 id="more-soon">More soon</h3>
<p>This is a small chrome release ahead of larger catalog work described on <a href="/history/">History</a>. If you have Records, PDFs, or files from the missing years, write <strong>up@scalepublishing.com</strong>—we can feed this publishing house together.</p>

<p><a href="https://rejon.org">Jon Phillips</a> finished his <strong>BFA in Photo / Video / New Media at the Kansas City Art Institute in 2001</strong>, then his <strong>MFA in Visual Arts (New Media) at UC San Diego in 2004</strong>. At UCSD his teachers included <strong>Lev Manovich</strong>, <strong>Sheldon Brown</strong>, <strong>Miller Puckette</strong>, <strong>Geoff Bowker</strong>, <strong>Jack Greenstein</strong>, and the late <strong>Joseph Goguen</strong>—a line from software studies and experimental systems into publication practice. That work is not separate from SCALE; the journal is one of its primary outputs, documented on <a href="https://rejon.org">rejon.org</a> alongside later projects (Open Clip Art Library, <a href="https://fabricatorz.org">Fabricatorz Foundation</a>, Phi, and today’s SCALE Publishing).</p>
<p>With <strong><a href="http://www.pwdeegan.org">Patrick W. Deegan</a></strong>, Jon co-founded <strong>SCALE</strong> at UCSD Visual Arts. The journal lived at <strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20040401174618/http://scale.ucsd.edu">scale.ucsd.edu</a></strong> in <strong>print and PDF</strong>, described in contemporary calls as exploring <strong>open-source and networked communities</strong> and new modes of production and dissemination—see the <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/clipart/2004-September/001343.html">September 2004 issue 8/9 call for participation</a> on the open-clipart list (guest editor <strong>Joel Swanson</strong>, submission deadline <strong>20 September 2004</strong>).</p>

<h3 id="historical-hosts-and-community">Historical hosts and community</h3>
<p>The 2019 program shipped from <strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/https://scale.qihardware.org">scale.qihardware.org</a></strong> (also cited as scalepublishing.com in later eras). Readers gathered on Telegram at <strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/https://t.me/qihardware">t.me/qihardware</a></strong>—the live channel for hardware, software, and crypto link curation that fed each weekly PDF.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The Telegram channel is <strong>not</strong> preserved in the Internet Archive; the Wayback link above is for URL consistency only. Live community history from 2019 exists in mirrors (YAML, PDFs, posts) and participant memory—not in archived chat logs.</p>
<p>That lineage belongs to the wider <strong>Qi Hardware</strong> story on Wikipedia: from <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qi_Hardware">Qi Hardware</a></strong> through <strong>Canaan Creative</strong> (mining hardware), <strong>Linzhi.io</strong> (ASIC / Ethereum mining era), to today's <strong><a href="https://phi.company">Phi</a></strong> and the Fabricatorz network—one continuous thread of open-hardware and publishing experiment, not a single brand rename.</p>
<hr />
<h3 id="people-and-context-2018-2020-runway">People and context (2018–2020 runway)</h3>
<p><strong><a href="https://rejon.org">Jon Phillips</a></strong> — co-founder of SCALE (2004), Open Clip Art Library, and later Phi / Fabricatorz; editorial voice in late 2019 weeks.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://clementrenaud.com">Clément Renaud</a></strong> — researcher and writer; lead threads such as <a href="https://www.quora.com/We-have-human-rights-and-animal-rights-Should-there-be-computer-rights/answer/Cl%C3%A9ment-Renaud">Computer Rights</a> (Week 7) and Shenzhen reportage (Week 21).</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://fabricatorz.org">Fabricatorz Foundation</a></strong> — hosts infrastructure and cultural technology work that connects SCALE's archive to present publishing.</p>
<h4 id="a-personal-timeline-on-the-season">A personal timeline on the season</h4>
<p>The 2019 weeklies sit on a dense world timeline:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Birth of Li Li Phillips</strong> — family milestone amid the editorial calendar.</li>
<li><strong>Hong Kong protests (2019)</strong> — global news echoing through curated links and correspondence.</li>
<li><strong>Toward the pandemic</strong> — the season ends in <strong>June 2019</strong> (Week 21); within months the hardware/crypto/link-sharing culture SCALE documented would meet COVID-19, border closures, and a different internet—setting up later SCALE work such as <em>(UN)LOCKED: Memories of Wuhan</em> (2021).</li>
</ul>
<p>We restore these files so that timeline stays readable: not only PDFs, but <strong>why</strong> each week was assembled.</p>
<hr />
<h3 id="editorial-format-what-we-rebuilt">Editorial format (what we rebuilt)</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Word of the week</strong> — Chinese character prompt + essay (when present in YAML).</li>
<li><strong>Curated links</strong> — full <code>links</code> and <code>week_links</code> sections from the indexes (broken localhost URLs replaced with <code>orl</code> / archive targets where possible).</li>
<li><strong>Friday PDF</strong> — offline reading ritual described in Week 5's launch copy.</li>
<li><strong>Backdated posts</strong> — sixteen historical announcements (Barry Threw et al.) plus Week 21 release note.</li>
</ol>
<p>Each week page was rebuilt from the surviving 2019 editorial mirror (indexes, link rivers, and PDFs). Corrections welcome: <a href="mailto:up@scalepublishing.com">up@scalepublishing.com</a>.</p>

<p>Second, we announce our next NFT airdop issue called Scale Multiplier. What is the issue about? From SCALE editors:</p>
<p>SCALE is enormous or microscopic. Our goal is to find a balance. This issue of Scale will be comprised totally of writings by SCALE editors and contributors to be released in various scales and formats of print and web, from one NFT.</p>
<p>SCALE was founded in 2004 as a journal of art and technology. We minted in 2021 the first NFT book, a pdf.
It was a digital token as part of our quarterly publishing cycle.</p>
<p>In April, SCALE released its latest issue, <em>(UN)LOCKED: Memories of Wuhan</em>, a deep-dive into the Chinese city's lived history before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. <em>(UN)LOCKED</em> was minted as the first PDF NFT on <a href="https://hicetnunc.xyz/">Hic et Nunc</a>, and SCALE wrote the code to make this publication possible. We worked with Rafael Lima and the Hic et Nunc community as developers. And, we must continue to build together.</p>
<p>Scale continues publishing quarterly with firsts in content production and cultural technology innovation.</p>
<p>Third, we are announcing on June 30, 2021 at noon cst, SCALE is releasing a new collection of original artworks and texts from SCALE editors and contributors, all works that are too big, too small, or impossible to print.</p>
<p>To celebrate, we're giving away the first eight copies. To snag one, all you have to do is:</p>
<ol>
<li>Follow us on X.</li>
<li>Send us your your Tezos address when we ask through twitter DM.</li>
</ol>
<p>Scale up with us towards the airdrop.</p>

<p>Scale Week 13 is LIVE. Straight from the \u6E90 yu\xE1n or source. Did you
notice that the co-founder of Canaan, Xiangfu Liu, released the Bitcoin Miner
Canaan A851 and FPGA Miner Icarus design files? We re-share. Articles on operating
systems were upvoted about upgrading firmware for devices. An essay is posted
by Jon Phillips about the Breakerspaces HK project by Matt Hope that re-invented
the term zerowaste. The first in a potential series.  The current state of Canaan,
Linzhi and their pre-cursors, Qi Hardware, is shared. The final piece is a conclusion
posted by \u201Ckidproto\u201D about the virtual culture of energists vs real
life energist activities. Have a great Sunday, right from the \u6E90."</p>
