I try not to impart human motivations to inanimate machines but sometimes I wonder. Take this morning for instance, a giant mound of snow was plowed up overnight at the end of our driveway and I set about chewing it up, bite by bite, with the snowblower. This would be the second multi-hour session with the cantankerous snow blower in as many days. Once you set the choke just so and pick just the right speed the drone of the machine and the pacing of the work take over. I was absorbed in what was doing for a good hour until the machine sputtered a couple times then quit. Under the load the machine had emptied it's fuel tank. I walked back to the garage as my ears adjusted from the quiet left in the wake of the snow blower's roar and to the stillness of the snowbound morning. No sooner had I reached the garage when I heard the airhorn of L517 coming across New Richmond. The night was just starting to give way to morning, I grabbed my camera out of the house and set up to shoot this SD70 cruising through the pre-dawn blue hour. When I put the camera back my wife asked what was going on and I replied "I think the snowblower likes me."

This is my second assemblage inspired by the Time and Freedom philosophy by Henri Bergson. I used tins, hinges and many pieces from dismantled clocks and little machines to create a kind of time machine.
Henri peers from a glass window. He has mica eyes and the window is embellished with words from his book. The bottom tin contains the clock mechanisms, wires a glass orb window, a tiny light bulb incased in a hand carved rock like formation on top is a red letter dice topped with a bottom laced with red string that wraps around the piece and ends in a fringe of springs and screws hanging from the bottom.
This piece has a lot of tiny detail. Check out the extra pictures to see some of them.
this is mah baby!!! c.1930
the little box in front is a buttonholler set.
yes, thats the original manual.
Two treats in one! The base of the gumball machine is made from two cupcakes stacked on top of each other and the top is filled with real gumballs.

In the Machine Learning Studio, visitors can use computer vision and machine learning applications to discover how machines learn and perceive their environment. Working with tech trainers, they can build and train self-driving model cars here, program robots with facial recognition, and gain insights into how they can teach these devices a wide variety of activities. Step-by-step, they can experience not only how these technologies function, but also that everything the machines know is determined by us.
The Machine Learning Studio not only offers insights into the hidden inner life of our learning devices—it is also a place where prototypes and objects can be maintained or repaired by the tech trainers, and museum procedures are revealed that are usually kept behind the scenes.

View of six installed HEPA-filtration machines in operation being used for asbestos abatement work; shows "reverse-side" of the air machine devices with exhaust discharge ducts.
These particular machines are currently designed to function at a rate of 2,000 cubic feet per minute and remove a basic HEPA standard of at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 micrometers (µm) in diameter.
When an asbestos abatement project requires construction of a containment or enclosed work area, these devices are used create a negative air pressure inside the sealed enclosure, which alludes to the equipment oftentimes being refered to as "negative air machines" (NAM) or "negative pressure unit" (NPU) in some parts of the asbestos abatement and contaminant remediation industries.
This type of air filtration equipment is also sometimes referred to as an "air filtration device" or "absolute filtering device" (AFD), air machine, HEPA-machine, air scrubber, or even "affectionately" called "hog" by certain U.S. abatement personnel.

new sewing machine cover from a fabric i found in the remnant bin at local fabric store - it had no selvage, so i have no idea what it is (does anybody know?).
originally it was only black-and-white with those lighter green patches, the yellow and dark green bits i coloured in myself (with fabric paints).
Inspired by the recent awesomeness of Urban Threads, I decided to give tone on tone a try. I've done something similar, but this was the first with black on black. I think it turned out awesome and I might make more. [on etsy]

Contents inside the vitrine dedicated to the project "DOMINION", 2005.
Performance in three acts (“Circle of Fashion”, “Circle of the Market” and “Circle of Art”), lasting approximately two hours each, carried out in three locations in the city of Terrassa, Barcelona (the former AEG motor factory, the headquarters of the CECOT trade association and the Sagrerahouse-museum). By invitation only.
DOMINION was a trilogy of performances that took place in the city of Terrassa. It drew from Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975), a film whose depiction of sexual and physical torture has made it one of the most contentious works of 20th-century cinema. Pasolini based his film on a notoriously
explicit novel by the Marquis de Sade ("The 120 Days of Sodom", 1785) and on Dante Alighieri’s 14th-century poem "The Divine Comedy", in which the protagonist journeys through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. "DOMINION" centred on hostile, sexualised encounters and staged acts of cruelty as metaphors for the uses and abuses of power, commodification and consumerism, and the objectification of the human body.
Furthermore, each part of "DOMINION" responded to the history and function of one of three venues. The “Circle of Fashion” took place in the former AEG motor factory and adopted the format of a ready-to-wear fashion collection and runway show, with 29 performer-models presenting fetishistic clothing and accessories.
For example, outfit no. 21 comprised a gag bit with a heavy resin skull, rope bindings that secured the model’s hands behind the back, tight-fitting briefs and customised Nike trainers. The “Circle of the Market” took place at the headquarters of CECOT, a federation of business and trade associations. A series of scenes
reimagined all of the submissive positions which the captives in Pasolini’s film are made to assume. The first scene comprised a composition of two bodies, while the final figure incorporated a circle of 12 individuals. The “Circle of Art” took place in the 18th-century Casa Alegre de Sagrera, the house of the Sagrera family,
industrialists in the textile sector, and now run as a house-museum. The audience, in small groups, was permitted to witness a series of masque-like dramatic pieces, readings and tableaux vivants. Each “circle” concluded brusquely, with the audience being driven out by excessively loud industrial music by the Belgian band Vomito Negro and shouts of “Get out!”.

Exhibition by Joan Morey "COLLAPSE. Desiring machine, working machine", Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona - Fabra i Coats, 20 September 2018–13 January 2019. Photo: Latitudes.
Since the late 1990s, Joan Morey (Mallorca, 1972) has produced an expansive body of live events, videos, installations, sound and graphic works, that has explored the intersection of theatre, cinema, philosophy, sexuality, and subjectivity. Morey’s work both critiques and embodies one of the most thorny and far-reaching aspects of human consciousness and behaviour – how we relate ourselves to others, as the oppressed or the oppressor. This central preoccupation with the exercise of power and authority seemingly accounts for the black and ominous tenor of his art.
COLLAPSE encompasses three parts. The first is presented over two floors of the Contemporary Art Centre of Barcelona - Fabra i Coats. ‘Desiring machine, Working machine’ is a survey of ten projects from the last fifteen years of the artist’s work. An exhibition display based around vitrines and video screens deployed as if sarcophagi or reliquaries, is presented alongside a continuous programme of audio works and a schedule of live performance extracts.
The second part of COLLAPSE takes place at the Centre d’Art Tecla Sala, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (23 November 2018–13 January 2019) and is the definitive version of the touring exhibition ‘Social Body’.
Titled ‘Schizophrenic Machine’, the third and final part of the project comprises a major new performance event which will take place on January 10, 2019 at an especially resonant – yet, for the moment, deliberately undisclosed – location in Barcelona, where live action will be integrated within the longer narrative of the site’s physical and discursive past.
COLLAPSE is curated by Latitudes.

Arthur T. HAGEN (1852-1917) Started the American Laundry Machine Company. 110 Buffalo Road was built in 1930, though it looks much older. It was a new location for ALMC, which previously has space at Lincoln Park (1920's) and at 56 Dewey Ave. (around 1910). In the 1909 City Directory, the company is listed as "The American Laundry Machinery MFG Co., Successor to A.T. Hagen Co. Manufacturers of Laundry Machinery." By 1931 they were listed as Manf. of "Laundry and Dry Cleaning Machinery." In the 30's Rug Cleaning Mach. was added, and by 1950 "Manf. of "Laundry, Dry Cleaning and Rug Cleaning Machinery Iron Founders Manufacturers of Meehanite Metal.' (a type of cast iron) By 1958 they were also listed as manuf. "Centrifugal Machinery." By 1960 ALMC no longer appears in the directory, as the company was bought out by the McGraw-Edison Co. perhaps this is when the place was shut down?? The company had many machines installed in WWII naval ships, which may be part of the reason for the military apparatus lying around. Perhas the stuff came in later years with another business, but I doubt it. The main property at 110 Buffalo Road was purchased in March of 2005 for a pathetic $1. (the property was assessed for $450K!!) by Potomac Properties, LLC, which according to the NYS Dpt. of State was organized in January. Other buildings originally part of the plant built in 1930 have been divided up to other owners and have separate addresses: 105 Craig St, 1 Sherer and 3 Sherer.

Why do they call this Virgin? That term usually refers to refers to someone who hasn't had...intimate relations.
