At university in the late 70s we discovered that you could allocate the 1000 line a minute line printer to your keyboard, so this machine that lived in a soundproofed glass enclosure that chucked out paper at many sheets per second would suddenly stop and go chunk a chunk a chunk as you typed on your terminal. The technicians did not like that. Then there was the great big led display of cpu stuff above the main computer in the big room with the glass walls, some devious student wrote a program that cause it to display big scrolling messages like the times square news feed. Unfortunately to get it to display some letters required the mainframe to do really weird stuff so the technicians didn't like that either.

What if the thing you're communicating happens to be a joke? Just because you have a sense of humour about it doesn't make what you say trivial. I still see it as art, but my definition of art might be different; I see comedy as an art. The whole thing is dripping with irony; a horde of people obsessively trying to be heard through the internet, by having a physical printout of their comment go out live; only for it all to be immediately destroyed and nothing of substance left at the end.

@@HidekiShinichi I know I'm two years late, but your assertion that art is only what the artist makes of it is just flat out wrong. The artist of a work can have *an* interpretation on it, but art is solely what the viewer makes of it given the information they have. If you were to read, say, Harry Potter and you came away thinking it was all a metaphor for poverty or war based on the information the book has provided, then regardless of what the author intended that is a correct view to have. As soon as a piece of art is published, the artist's view holds as much weight as the audience's, and any information that was not published in or alongside the piece might as well not exist for how little influence it has.

As a former accountant, yeah, matrix printers are still pretty much ubiquitous. Make three or four carbon copies in one go, guaranteed to be identical - conservative accountants still wholly dig that. And while they are slowly falling out of favour, the second hand market is still awash with them, all cheap because they're old enough to've been fully depreciated. As an electronics enthusiast, I'm particularly fond of the stepper motors that you can harvest by hunting these things down for cheap or for free. And as a Tom Scott subscriber: I WOULD HAVE WATCHED THAT VIDEO FOR A WEEK. Hell, I would probably have created a sort of active desktop wallpaper showing that channel and have it there until the day I die (or my pc does, anyway).

Like many people (I think) I spent my time watching and trying to figure out what the delay would be before I saw my comment being printed. I never saw it being printed, and now I'm a bit sad to hear that some comments were just tossed. I still thought it was a brilliant bit of an internet artwork though. The starkly lit stage added to the affect.

I was on vacation when you did the livestream. I woke up, stumbled out to my laptop, saw there was a new Matt & Tom video, realized you were doing this live, and participated. What a wonderful vacation surprise activity for me! Thanks so much, you 2! This was almost as memorable as the solar eclipse & Hurricane Irma! (Which I experienced both of them as part of my vacation. The latter certainly wasn't planned.)

I was waiting for this video for an explanation of it all. The fact that it was nothing more than "we thought it would be funny" is perfect. I must admit, at one point I had been watching for nearly 45 minutes on the day, and after that I had it on in the background through my headphones. Now you have a dot matrix printer and a LOT of paper sitting around...what will you do with it all?

Oh yeah, dot matrix printers are definitely still used. One of the uses is with carbon paper with 2 or more layers where you need to have an exact copy for filing purposes. Also they are actually very easy to print to (in Windows), just send the characters and it will print. I probably could have made an easier program for you guys than your setup through a dos box and network share :D Too bad escape codes didn't work, cause you can do all sorts of stuff (double strike, double height, double width) even graphics :) But it was a very fun project, it was art :)

So, for future reference, not that you guys will do this again but someone else might, there's no need to use the Windows print spooler, or any print spooler for that matter, for a dot matrix printer. Dot matrix you can send text directly to the serial connection (including USB) bypassing the spooler entirely.

Shreddings are actually not a great recycling material and recyclers generally discourage shredding paper unless it's really necessay. Shredding paper rips apart its fibers, and paper containing such fibers will be less strong. (Not saying that it would be better to not recycle them).

I love how they have the knowhow required to do something as complex as this, yet they call Windows Command Prompt "DOS" (unless they were using a Windows 9x computer because the printer was old; in that case it *would* be DOS).
