Early years
Nictoglobe started around 1982 as a stenciled paper, exclusively and privately distributed on the local night bus service by its founders, the brothers Michel and Andreas Jacobs, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.[1] Copies of these first printings are available at the International Institute of Social History (IISG) in Amsterdam.[2] The printed edition was followed up by electronic editions on Bulletin Board Systems. Later editions were put on MSXII systems, and finally on TeleText modules.
Internet era
With the arrival of ARPAnet in Europe in the late 80s, new editions were placed on the Internet. New collaborations include the 'Ey Ar' shows and the founding of the Brahamian Intelligence Service in 2004.
In summer 2007, Nictoglobe organized @ De Balie - Centre for Culture and Politics, Amsterdam, using free publicly accessible open source software tools, developed and provided by de Balie, a DIY CoolMediaHotTalkShow about 'Creative Resistance, New Media as Soft Arms'.[3]

Nictoglobe publishes (almost) yearly a themed special on (New) Media practices, Friction Research.
