Pataphysical Studios is building a Time Machine for our next art exhibit. On a balmy spring afternoon, Drs. Rindbrain and Fabio created more visualizations of what the Time Machine might look like.
We sketched out several ideas for the inside and outside walls, for discussion purposes. On each side of the main screen, we designed round portholes through which we could interact with our guests -- or show scenes from the past or future. Behind each porthole would be a magic box that could feature artifacts from distant times -- or the head of a historical figure, projected onto a ‘life cast’. The rest of the inside walls would be used for other interactive artworks such as the Crazy Clock, which sings quotes about time when you press its big green button.
On the outside walls, we sketched out a Face Box that you could stick your head in to get your picture taken. It would include an Infinity Mirror made of LED strips cycling through the colors of the rainbow, with a camera at the end of this light tunnel. We also sketched out where time wonderboxes could be placed on the side walls, proposing that the left wall focus on the past and the right wall on the future. A graphic timeline across both walls could support that idea.
It was a productive meeting and we look forward to presenting these ideas to our fellow doctors at the next Time Machine meeting.
Fire in the hole!

The linotype machine was invented by Ottmar Merganthaler in Baltimore in 1884 and revolutionized the printing industry. Prior to this invention, no newspaper in the world had more than 8 pages.
Une énorme usine abandonnée, mais une centrale électrique qui fonctionne encore parfois au milieu... Trois turbines et deux commutatrices.
An huge abandoned chemical plant houses a still active electricity facility. Better to know before, big brother got wireless video.
Geheimschreiber
Although the ENIGMA remains the best know German cryptographic machine of World War II, in the early 1940's the German military introduced several new cryptographic teletypewriters known under the name Geheimschreiber - sometimes translated as "private secretary", sometimes as "secret writer".
These machines offered on-line encryption and decryption, that is plain test could be typed directly into the machine, automatically converted to encrypted text, and sent directly to the transmitter. In addtion to security, these "secret writers" provided the Germans with the ability to encrypt large volumes of test at high speed.
Learning that the Germans had named an early version of these machines SWORDFISH, the British and Americans bestowed nicknames associated with fish on the machines and the communications links in which they were used. The two most famous are TUNNY and STURGEON.
Just as they developed the Bombe to assist decryption of ENIGMA , the British developed data processing to attack the fish family of machine ciphers. (I must add: This was a whale of a job!) This led to the construction of the COLOSSUS which British historian F. H. Hinsley is "justly claimed as a pioneer programmable electronic digital computer."
The 40 (SZ40) when first encountered in 1940 was nicknamed TUNNY by the British - after a fish better known to Americans as TUNA.
The Schlüsselzusatz SZ40, manufactured by the German firm Lorenz, was used by the German Army for high-level communications, generally between Army groups. It provided on-line encryption and decryption and was capable of handling large volumes f traffic at high speed. The TUNNY depended on wheels for encryption and decryption but unlike ENIGMA it did nut substitute letters but insted encrypted elements of the electrically generated Baudot code used in normal telegraphic transmissions.

The rubber "rope" von my sixties sewing machine broke!! What to do now? Where do I get a replacement?
Now it is still...
The choreography of machines in the early morning sun — smoothing sands, shaping shores, and readying Oostende’s beach for summer footprints. A reminder that carefree days by the sea start with precision, planning, and a bulldozer or two.
In Scotland for the first time, The Influence Machine is an immersive outdoor sculptural experience by American artist Tony Oursler.
From 23-26 November 2016, 7pm - 9pm, you can freely wander through George Square Gardens encountering characters projected on trees, smoke and mist; ghostly presences, shadowy figures, and eerie sounds.
The Influence Machine uses state-of-the-art digital projection techniques to capture the haunting atmosphere of magic lanterns, Victorian light shows, camera obscura and parlour tricks.
Weird and wonderful.
Vending machine culture is a very special culture in Japan. Everywhere you go, you'll sure see one on the street. There're many kind of machine available, from toy to tobacco, beer, to soft drink. Even some of the ramen shop need you to buy food ticket from the machine. One special thing about the softdrink machine is they have hot drink, this is very helpful especially the weather is cold during the winter.
For the Swedish group Photo Sunday theme- spänning meaning f.ex. tension, excitement, suspense, thrill, strain. Some people find it exciting to spend their money on machines like these.
Not much in the way of winnings though.
För Fotosöndag tema Spänning. Att spela bort pengar och hoppas på vinst kan upplevas som spänning. Vid den här sortens spelautomater är det sällan någon vinner mer än småpengar, men det är många som försöker ändå.
This was something I came up with years ago, after seeing Robin Glynn's Tommy Gun. This was one of those models that I never got around to teaching, until now. There's a tutorial available if you're interested in making one of your own.
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.

'Would you like to see the Time Machine itself?' asked the Time Traveller. And therewith, taking the lamp in his hand, he led the way down the long, draughty corridor to his laboratory. I remember vividly the flickering light, his queer, broad head in silhouette, the dance of the shadows, how we all followed him, puzzled but incredulous, and how there in the laboratory we beheld a larger edition of the little mechanism which we had seen vanish from before our eyes. Parts were of nickel, parts of ivory, parts had certainly been filed or sawn out of rock crystal. The thing was generally complete, but the twisted crystalline bars lay unfinished upon the bench beside some sheets of drawings, and I took one up for a better look at it. Quartz it seemed to be.
'Look here,' said the Medical Man, 'are you perfectly serious? Or is this a trick--like that ghost you showed us last Christmas?'
'Upon that machine,' said the Time Traveller, holding the lamp aloft, 'I intend to explore time. Is that plain? I was never more serious in my life.'
None of us quite knew how to take it.

My sewing machines//sergers are stored in a spare room which is a guest room for our son and DIL. Starting at the top left in white hard case is my Singer Stylist 11 serger. On top of it sits my Sew Steady table for my Singer Quantum L-500 sewing machine. Right top is my Serger tackle box with my sewing tackle box under it.
On left of 2nd shelf from top is the extension table for my Singer Superb sewing machine and free arm accessory extension for my L-500. Then is another large supply box (love it) It's really a tool box but makes the best sewing box! It holds such things as vac attachment for cleaning machines, serger feet, oil, pins, fray check--lots of frequently used gadgets/notions--you know, all that kind of stuff you want handy but not carry around in the smaller sewing boxes. 3rd shelf down has my Singer 5 Thread Serger (which BTW fits in a Brother Universal hard case). Next to that under the pink gingham sewing machine cover is my Singer Quantum L-500 sewing machine. On the bottom shelf is my box of practicing scraps. Under that is my project box of whatever I am sewing. And finally on the bottom right is my Singer Superb sewing machine. The steel shelves are two sets of: www.walmart.com/ip/Whitmor-Supreme-Small-3-Tier-Shelves-C...
Each shelf holds 250 lbs and are totally stable. I did order 4 additional connectors from the shelf company in order to stack and connect the poles spacing the shelves to fit my needs. While searching Walmart's site to find the shelves I bought I did notice that additional parts can be ordered right through Walmart. This kind of shelf system can be bought in many different sizes--very large to very small. I only had about 25 inches of space to work with which is why I bought the size I did. 2 sets of shelves contained 6 shelves but I only used 5. However, I could design the shelves to fit my very small space and make the height of each shelf the right height to fit my sewing machines. Perfect solution for me or anyone with a small home or no designated sewing room!
I did make the pink gingham cover on the Singer L-500. If you want a closer look, it's in another 'Set' titled "Sewed By Me."
SPB Machinery offered a Semi-automatic surgical mask making machine that can produce a 1-3 layer non-woven mask with high efficiency.
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.
