Rating: Kraftwerk ergo “How To Build Your Own Automaton”.
Chapter VIII: Boutade for Electronic Computers (It's more fun to compute).
Installation of algorithms in external memories.
Definitive implementation of the project to automate the writing of musical tracks.
Definitive awareness of the operator - work game.
Fiction of fiction: man, pretending to be an automaton, pretends to be automated, pre-programmed.
Second-order game: no longer a product of the industrialized world, but the world itself.
The industrial has globally transferred into the digital.
We just have to acknowledge it.
Acknowledge it playfully.
With an irony from automatons.
With automated irony.

02 Pocket Calculator (04:57)
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I am adding and subtracting
I'm controlling and composing
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I am adding and subtracting
I'm controlling and composing
By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody
By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator

Another lonely night
Stare at the TV screen
I don't know what to do
I need a rendezvous

I call this number
For a data date
I don't know what to do
I need a rendezvous

The Kraftwerk solved the dilemma... with an unparalleled content and formal innovation: circumvent the object through the object itself.
"Another lonely night / Stare at the TV screen / I don't know what to do / I need a rendez-vous" — the computer sucks feeling into the vortex of exhaustion and makes it a satisfied nourishment: the intimate human essence dies.
