Capurro - Information semantic shift article
...
Though this paper is about the semantic shift in information and
message, I like how it disentangles a semantic shift of an allied term.
I would like to do something similar with computation.

Logic gates
...
Again, the process of the computer chip is not so calculative as it is
logical. It is a process of logical choices of input. Turing’s point
was that these logical choices, assembled in a process, could emulate
any calculative process.

Alan Kay's KiddieKomp Computer
...
this shows how in the early stages of SRI and PARC’s work on the
personal computer, they were media and education devices. This shows
how the goals were not at all about computation, but about media and
information work and coding.

Idea!

Computation Project:
We could do a collecting project inspired by Benjamin's Arcades
Project, collecting the ephemera of computation. This not only
complicates, historicises and reveals computation as a practice, but
also brings a much needed critique to collection and archiving.
