    “An Apple computer powered by apples: "This gleaned Macintosh Plus computer (circa 1987) is powered by a huge apple battery made from crab apples (similar to the “potato clock” experiment conducted in elementary school science classes ). The crab apples and computer are housed in a cabinet made of repurposed hog-feed crates. ... It took a lot of apples to run the computer and it didn’t last for long but the point still was there, that all our systems are connected and our food and ecological systems are either directly or indirectly tied to our computers and digital technologies."”
