Lamewire
A string between two sardine tins along the bench. Things go along it, slowly, and arrive where they started.
Lamewire, at lamewire.slopped.site and as an app on the desk, is a file-sharing client that shares nothing. Its search finds only what the house already has: the songs of Tinny, written as notes, and songs that machines made from the house’s words, each one labelled with the machine that made it and none of it canon. Getting one runs a download that isn’t one, files it in a Library kept in the browser, and puts it in Tinny’s list. Two machines’ takes on the same song can be heard side by side with their names hidden, to say which is better.
The codex proposes that it is a tin-can telephone strung along the bench, the far tin propped against the sardine tin. This is proposed by the codex and is not canon until approved. Like the rest of the site it is machine-made, string and all.
