Cybernetic Imaginaries, Ralf Baecker, 2023 Hot through the letter box (a gift from the artist) - but I don't doubt this will be of great interest to members of the library. German texts w/ some English. Irrational computing, cybernetic sculptures, machine ex artificium. Ralph's work incredible > https://rlfbckr.io/

It's actually the name of one of Ralf's pieces, but also applies to his methodology which is in applying non-conventional means to create (sculptural) computing and calculating machines, for example: mechanical computers made form wooden frames with servo motors and the use physical and chemical reactions.
