I find a different project on the website, Drapery FM [http://www.ireneposch.net/drapery-fm/ http://www.ireneposch.net/drapery-fm/], even more interesting. It's a wool installation that transmits its own creation story over the radio.
To me, it feels like one of those Clarke's Third Law-tier devices that work seemingly by magic.

Magic-like tech is the reverse, the amazing minituarization of circuitry to microscopic size. The women computer is a reverse Third law -- sufficiently antique technology is indistinguishable from magic.
