In this essay, I offer an ethnographic-oriented cartoon as a reflection on a personal experience in moral circuits. First prepared for the 4S meeting in Boston (2017)—under the title “Pedal Transcriba, an Ethnographic Device of (and for) Qualitative Research”—it condenses one dimension of the work of multi-sited research across community spaces for alternative computing in the Pacific. My motivation was to derive the human circuitry from a simple technical object and research moral economies of “open” digital fabrication through the very practice of design and fabrication.
