The Glade of the Chicken Computer: An Allegorical Operator's Manual
AbstractNearly two decades ago, Neil Spiller and architect and teacher Derek Hales had a conversation about analogue computers.

Hales reflects on the curious and extraordinary ideas that this chunking engine of pecking, haptic chance provokes in him.
