Models of Mulling works focus on isolating the step in responding when we contemplate or calculate, before we respond to the outer world. Specifically, interest here is in exploring historic systems of calculating. The Pascaline is a 6-dial mechanical calculating machine invented by Blaise Pascal in 1642. Each dial contains ten spokes, numerically representing digits 0-9. These works seek to foster accounting and accountability in human response.
