I love this story, such the perfect illustration of what I call tradigital stories, where there is an intervention of binary-code empowered contemporary technology, fused with and inextricable linked with a traditional technological art.
It’s like the story of the pilots crash-landing or parachuting into New Guinea, during World War II, and routinely being killed by the locals, until someone suggested each pilot be given a loop of string and taught a few string figures, with the instruction to begin immediately to show their figures to anyone they encounter. Reportedly, many lives were saved. Yes!
