The construction industry is wasteful and inefficient, slow to adopt technologies that are already well established in other fields, such as robotics. Robotics and additive manufacturing offer great potential for innovation within the construction industry. However, in their current form, these systems all share a specific limitation. The objects they produce are linked to and constrained proportionally to the size of the machine. This methodology for production and construction is not scalable. Minibuilders is scalable, it supplants one large robot for a number of smaller agile robots, that work together effectively towards a single outcome.

Gestetner 1566 and stencil cutter, used by the Vatican. Note the coat of arms on the machine. This picture was taken from a Gestetner brochure which showed the Vatican's use of Gestetner stencil machines for over 30 years. All previous Gestetner Vatican models were specially produced in white.
Another very fast vintage machine. This is a highly-modified Riley Blue Streak, and like the name suggests, it's blue and stupidly fast - hence the huge blower on the front. Owned by well-known historic racer Julian Bronson, but raced on this occasion by Mac Hulbert, who once again wiped the floor with every other competitor in said race.
Have been experiencing computer upgrade adventures... photos are safe... on back up drive(s)... but adventure continues... New PC (parts-- to be built!) begins to arrive from different locales this week. End result is hopefully a more capable & stable machine. This is a photo of Lilly from the church Christmas play this past weekend.
After running a livedvd of #! (crunchbang linux) i liked it's openbox look so much that I tried to emulate it on my mint machine. This is fairly close to the #! look, although I made a few changes to suit my own style, including the tint2 panel arranged vertically, a few minor changes to the conky system monitor/display utility. Performance is top shelf, although I believe #! has a modded openbox package included with their distro.
The basic Mills "Hightop" by the end of the 1940's was the triple 7 "21," with reel symbols having watermelons and outlined "7" symbols over some of the fruits. Hitting three 7 symbols paid a special $10 in a nickel machine. This machine also has a "Mystery Payout?"
By making payouts more liberal the roadhouses and casinos running slots attracted more players. By 1950 the 7-7-7 became the 21 STANDARD, and a gleaming CHROME 21 model was added.

the “21” Bell
The story of the “21” Bell! Mills “21” is actually six months old. In January, 1949 we built fifty and sent them to all parts of the country so that we could get a cross section check of their worth. we didn’t announce their existence to the trade because we wanted to be definitely sure that they would do the job right. Our tests proved phenomenal. we are pleased to offer Mills “21” Bell to you at this time. Be the first to operate “21” Bells.
What is the “21” Bell? It is a completely new innovation of payout awards. It is our answer for the need of a new award principle. It’s aBell with mystery payouts, has a double Jackpot possibility called 7-7-7 and three new ways of winning the Jackpot by the lineup of Bars - Melons and a combination of Bars and Melons. It’s the players’ dream Bell because its idea was created by one of the outstanding Bell operators in the country. mills “21” Bell is now ready for operators and clubs. Mills production is set up and they are rolling off the line in great numbers in 5c, 10c, and 25c play.

“21” Bell
We are receiving daily - telegrams, letters, order blanks, phone calls - the country is wild about the “21” Bell! Not since the days of the old War Eagle has the operator been so enthused about a new Bell Machine. “21” Bell is a machine that was the brain child of a well known Bell operator. It wasn’t just a shot in the dark. It was the well thought out plan of an operator who made test after test under any and all conditions. It’s the most successful new Bell idea fostered in many years. It is providing a huge boon in operation. Order your “21” Bell now. It is a proven success; no trial is necessary. It will go to work for you immediately. “21” is the Bell of the year!

Our Maker Art class created a Time Machine this year, inviting you to travel through time from the age of dinosaurs to the 50th century.
Our 4th and 5th graders at the Lycée Français designed their own scenes from the past, present or future, and brought them to life with motion, lights and sounds. They also worked in teams to build interactive features like illuminated keypads, spinners and doors, using the popular Arduino platform.
In our after-school classes, we combine art, technology and storytelling to help children create their own magical worlds. They learn to design their ideas, build them with a variety of tools, animate them with electronics and tell their stories. This unique multimedia course helps them develop their creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills -- and builds their confidence that they can help change the world.
This year, we had a really good group of 9 students, ages 8 to 11 -- many of whom had taken our Maker Art classes before. They were very creative and engaged, and did a great job presenting their work at the Lycée Français -- and at Marinovators at the College of Marin on April 22.
This Maker Art class was taught by Fabrice Florin and Edward Janne at the Lycée Français in Sausalito in winter 2017. We met every week for 12 workshops of 90 minutes each, Thursdays at 3:30pm, from January 5 to March 30, 2017. Our teachers are part of the Tam Makers learning community and we prepared materials for this project in our state-of-the-art makerspace at the nearby Tam High School.

Here's one you probably forgot, an obscure little number based off the Mini to give a more luxurious variant to the popular 10ft machine, this being the Riley Elf, but also badged as the Wolseley Hornet.
For all intents and purposes, the Elf and Hornet were mechanically identical to the Mini, using much of the same driving gear. The car differed however by its trim, engines and length, with the same Mini wheelbase of 6.68ft, but an increased platform to 10.7ft to accommodate a separate boot and for a slightly longer cabin. Both cars were also fitted with huge chrome grilles to make them look less mundane than the Mini and more up-market to appeal for the driver who desired more from their small car. The cars had larger-diameter chrome hubcaps than the Austin and Morris Minis, and additional chrome accents, bumper overriders and wood-veneer dashboards. The Riley was the more expensive of the two cars.
Both the Elf and the Hornet went through three engine versions. Initially, they used the 848cc 34hp engine with a single HS2 carburettor, changing to a single HS2 carburettor 38hp version of the Cooper's 998cc in the 1963 Mark II. This increased the car's top speed from 71 to 77mph.
Both cars were built between 1961 and 1969, with production ending with 30,912 Riley Elfs and 28,455 Wolseley Hornets built. Today these cars have quite a cult following, largely due to their novel size and luxury. A Rolls Royce on a 10ft platform!
I used a little of my tax return to treat myself to a new sewing machine. This is a Brother Innov-ís 80 which received excellent reviews from Consumer Reports and is also pretty darn affordable. The Innov-ís 40 is even cheaper still if you don't want quite as many bells and whistle.
I've sewn two skirts in the past week, as well as a fair bit of just playing around to get to know the machine. So far, I couldn't be happier.

Video projection of Stewart Home talking about the Art Strike in 2004 - shot at Tom McCarthy's flat on Golden Lane Estate, London. Presented as part of Book Works’ ongoing and evolving project ‘Again, A Time Machine’ this is the first US retrospective of Home’s work and features a selection of artwork, including Art Strike Bed, Vermeer II and Becoming (M)other, publications and ephemera and a live performance with Kenneth Goldsmith. Curated by Matthew Higgs. White Columns, 320 West 13th Street, New York, NY 10014.
We made some cool 'pataphysical talismans and time machines this week in Geo Monly’s amazing woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley.
Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) and Jean Bolte (a.k.a. Dr. Figurine) have been building a Time Machine model, which is coming along very well. It is a modular structure with five walls, which can house a wide range of interactive art works. It could grow into a 'collection of time machines’, featuring different artist's views of events that impact us all.
Fabrice Florin (a.k.a. Dr. Fabio) made hundreds of 'pataphysical talismans, using Tam High's laser printer, an Illustrator file created by Freddy Hahne (a.k.. Dr. Really). It only took a couple hours to print over 280 talismans, which are based on the symbol of unity, featured in stupas all over Nepal.
Our creative process is documented in this photo album: bit.ly/pata-photos

Today we continued on our great North East Poons crawl.
This started in Redcar, as the weather wasn't too bad when we got up.
After PAing their Poons, we went to the arcades to find an interesting DDR machine.
This Euromix looked a bit wrong, so we put a couple of credits in to see what it was. It was a piracy machine!
For our second song we picked... DJ Damen feat. MC Barber: Guyz Dongz XD
Very strange to walk into an arcade in a place you've never been to before and find yourself singing at you from a DDR machine @_@ XD
We obviously played it :p

Built in 2004 by Grahame Standen Motorsport, using the shell of an ex-works machine, this Group 4 historic spec Escort has an Alan Sherwood-built original all-alloy BDA, producing 254b.h.p. and driving through a direct top ZF gearbox and a fully floating Atlas axle. She was leading Category 2 in the R.A.C. Historic Rally (2013?) until a substantial shunt: a driver error caused the car to roll in Wales. The car was fully repaired to return to the Palace in 2014.

147: I like to work as close to the drill bit as possible. My table only rises so high, so I’m going to raise my work up closer to the tip of the drill bit, by placing the bolster upon a precision 1”X2”X3” block. I'm again double checking to assure the table is square and level, and that all work surfaces are clean, so as to assure a perfect hole. The drilling of this hole is a critical process. I prefer to make smaller movements of the chuck when operating the depth lever on the drill press, so as not to cause any extra unnecessary movements or shaking of the machine. This is why it helps to rest work closer to the tip of the drill bit. Drilling into any material, especially Titanium requires even pressure, and above all patience. Proper drilling is done in small increments, backing the drill bit out, then going a little deeper into the material. Do not go full force in one motion all the way through the material, you are sure to wear out your tools, as well as potentially break a the drill bit off in your material. A broken drill bit stuck in your material could be a major problem, it is also extremely dangerous, imagine a sharp piece of metal flying in your face at high velocity. Remember eye protection! It’s better to be over cautious and take 15 minutes to drill a hole, rather than hurting yourself! Always use new sharp bits and cutting/cooling fluid as needed. It’s a good idea to use a respirator with cutting fluid. These holes will eventually be threaded for a 2-56 screw, so the drill bit to use here is a number 50. Drill bits come in regular, long and short lengths. I prefer the short bits, as they are more than adequate as far as flute length goes; rarely in knife making is any one hole to drill going to be over an inch deep. Also the shorter the drill bit, the more sturdy they are, which also helps eliminate wobble.
Muestra de lo que es mi trabajo principal y que tanto amo. Vendo y pongo en marcha máquinas para procesar plásticos. La semana pasada arranqué esta máquina en una importante empresa en El Salvador. Es una inyectora que se usa para producir piezas plásticas como tapas y recipientes. De lo que más me gusta, además de la oportunidad de ponerle las manos encima a toda esta tecnología, es el contacto con personas de varios países y de muchas fábricas que también aman lo que hacen y que se esfuerzan cada día en hacer lo mejor en su trabajo. Mi reconocimiento a todas las personas que forman el sector industrial, parte importante del motor económico en todo país. Saludos a Vicente, Manuel, Angel, César y Andrés.
This is a sample of my main job which I love so much. I sell and start up plastic processing machines. This week I started up this machine in an important customer in El Salvador. An injection molding machine used to produce plastic parts such as caps and containers. One of the things I like most, other than the opportunity to put my hands in so much technology, is the contact with people from different countries and plants that love what they do and that everyday put their effort to achieve the best in their work. My acknowledgment to all of those persons that form the industrial sector, important part of the economical engine in every country. Best regards to Vicente, Manuel, Angel, César y Andrés.
Hatred is not overcome by hatred; hatred is conquered by love, and so is the order of things from eternity. Unless your name is Henry Ford and Enzo Ferrari just let you down by having lunch with his lawyer and then not returning to the negotiating table. The story is of course known to every Ford and Ferrari enthusiast. Ford developed the GT40 and beat Ferrari fair and square at Le Mans. But the chance of ever buying a Ferrari has gone forever since that afternoon. Fortunately, both brands are still going strong today and Ford uses the GT40 every few years as an excuse to put the most extravagant and excellent sports car on the market. The previous Ford GT was actually a slightly larger GT40 with a huge V8 and a supercharger. This generation of Ford GT, on the other hand, is not a retro car but a futuristic spaceship that forgot to return to the pits after a successful race at La Sartre and pulled into your parking space. What a beautiful machine. This 2021 copy is a so-called Carbon Series. This means that the car is slightly lighter than the already very light “standard” Ford GT, the car has extra visible carbon, a Lexan engine compartment cover, no cup holders, carbon wheels, titanium wheel bolts and a stripe over the hood consisting of blank carbon.
The second generation Ford GT, as this car is referred to, is a car built at Multimatic in Canada. The base is a carbon fiber monocoque that is not only extremely stiff but also feather-light. The drive is provided by a 3.5 litre Ford Ecoboost V6. The engine produces 647 hp and enables the car to reach a top speed of no less than 347 kilometres per hour. The car was unveiled in 2016 and Ford immediately announced that it would be taking another shot at victory at Le Mans 50 years later. The Ford GT is therefore also one of the few cars that is basically designed as a race car and not as a street car. This means that for the designers the objectives were very clear in advance: this car must be able to drive as fast as possible at Le Mans and then we must be able to make the car street-legal with not too many adjustments. Finally, it should be noted that this is an almost unique opportunity to obtain a Ford GT Carbon Series. When Ford opened the order books for the GT, it was not the case that everyone could buy such a car, no, buyers had to go through a real application procedure to get a Ford GT. If Ford didn’t think the story was good enough, or the buyer didn’t like the GT, it wasn’t possible to buy one. In addition, buyers of the Ford GT were not allowed to resell the car shortly after purchase.
This copy has German papers and is in absolute mint condition. The car comes with delivery miles and is beautifully executed. Black goes perfectly with the car’s sinister looks. The body is unmistakably recognizable as a Ford GT and yet almost incomparable with its predecessors. The carbon wheels are not only very beautiful but also very light. The finish of the car is of course as you would expect from a top product of this calibre. The paint is beautifully sprayed, the finish on the wheels is exceptional, the panels fit together sublimely everywhere and we are only talking about the exterior of the car. The interior is pure practicality. The steering wheel is equipped with many buttons to operate many vital functions of the car and makes driving the car a breeze. The ergonomics are of course perfect for each other and finding a good seating position is child’s play because the seat cannot be adjusted, but the steering column and the pedal box have to be adjusted. Unlike previous hardcore versions of the Ford GT, the Carbon Series is still equipped with the Ford Sync 3 system. This makes covering longer distances a wonderful activity. Things like air conditioning and an excellent sound system make the party complete.
In short, an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a Ford GT Carbon Series and an absolute top opportunity for the serious investor.
Installation shot. On the right Becoming (M)other. In 2004 I got Chris Dorley-Brown to take portraits of me imitating the poses thrown by my mother in a series of 1966 modelling portfolio photos. We then morphed these with the 1966 photos to create composite portraits. This formed the basis of our collaborative show at T1/2 Artspace (London December 2004/January 2005) with the addition of films we'd each made on our own. The morphs were shown alone in November 2005 at Catalyst Arts in Belfast while I was doing events there, and then again with much else as part of the Hallucination Generation exhibition which I curated at the Arnolfini in Bristol in April 2006.
Presented here as part of Book Works’ ongoing and evolving project ‘Again, A Time Machine’ this is the first retrospective of Home’s work and features a selection of artwork, including Art Strike Bed, Vermeer II and Becoming (M)other, publications and ephemera and a live performance with Kenneth Goldsmith.

W. Notting Co. Demy Alexandra Hand Iron Press - London
Age: 1883, Platen size 18.5" x 24.5", Bed size 21” x 28”
This machine, produced by the W. Notting Co., who are still in business, is a variant of Richard Cope’s Albion design. The Albion was, next to Clymer’s Columbian, extremely popular. In order to maintain interest from the buying printers, many firms decorated their machines.
This version is called an Alexandra and celebrated the 1863 wedding of Denmark’s Princess Alexandra to England’s Prince Albert. Few remain today. Our machine includes Queen Victoria’s coat of arms cast above the platen on the left side and Notting’s name was removed by a type foundry, J. Haddon & Co., who must have bought this machine and resold under their own name, which was a common occurrence at the time. Demy refers to the paper size of 18.5" x 24.5”.

What tastes much better than a hot cup of joe every day? Or, perhaps you prefer it iced. You could have coffee in several various ways, and flavors. These article can assist you to definitely better appreciate the wonderful realm of coffee.
The pricier the coffee, the greater its quality. You absolutely get what's purchased when buying coffee, so splurge a bit. Skimping on the caliber of your coffee will invariably result in a disappointing beverage.

Always carry out a trial run with any new coffee machine. This basically means that you ought to run water with the machine as if you had been indeed brewing coffee. It will require out some of the chemicals they utilized in making the pot or any dirt or impurities which were inside it.
Purchase a good coffee grinder. Freshly ground beans retain more oil and can create a richer, more aromatic mug of coffee. Select a grinder which has choices for adjusting the grind to the kind of brew you would like. In the event you don't like the thought of getting two machines to accomplish one job, search for an all-in-one maker which includes a grinder.
It is usually a good idea to brew a plain pot water before you decide to actual brew your coffee if you use an economy model machine. You would like to add the grounds first, and after that pour the water in to the machine. In this way, you might be guaranteed to get the warmest and tastiest brew of coffee.
Usually do not reheat brewed coffee. Make use of a thermal mug to help keep the coffee hot for too long periods. Otherwise, just brew another pot of coffee to be able to experience the top taste.
Each day, countless women and men start their mornings having a freshly brewed mug of coffee. You might be among this number and count coffee among life's necessities. Make use of the advice here to help you get the very best tasting mug of coffee, and check out out different coffees before you locate one which you like the most. youtu.be/2-jWRQlv2TE
Dessert 2: grilled green pear topped with a paper thin slice of under-ripe pear, pine parfait that's been aerated in a vacuum machine (this was really bubbly and nice), all bound together by a loose pear purée.
The plate was very impressive. Not only was it aesthetically gorgeous (those colours so soothing, the combination so pretty), but the variations of pear - the subtle and not-so-subtle contrasts in textures and flavours - was awesome. Loved this in concept and in execution.
That was before pairing it with the pear and verbena juice, which when taken together, knocked things out of the ball park.
I was feeling a little nostalgic, so I decided to dig up some old work from a couple years ago. Amongst them was this 1:50 model I made for my then-final tectonics project, which was to translate a series of (deliberately) terribly labelled drawings and make a model showing one of three construction methods. In situ, precast and timber frame. (This model being precast).
It was actually my very first attempt at ever casting in plaster, so it proved to be incredibly difficult, but interesting! The most fun part of this process, aside from making a huge mess, was creating the moulds. I transferred the transcript drawings onto scrap pieces of MDF which I then cut out and vacuum formed onto sheets of clear acetate, using a machine. This meant that I could duplicate each floor and facade (effectively the entire building) as many times as I wanted, and achieve a near-perfect finish with every attempt. As great as it would have been to have a little souvenir to take home at the end of semester, I unfortunately had no time to make myself a cute replica trophy model for my bedroom!
I was fortunate to be able to witness a rare event - the filling of a train load of peat and its transportation to the distribution point.
Loaded wagons are drawn through the distribution hopper by dragging machines.
This peat is destined for either a power station or fertiliser use.
This traffic is to cease completely in a few years for environmental reasons. The worked out peat fields are likely to become solar or wind generating farms.

We got rack cards for the vending machines. This was mine, but it was version 2.0. The first one misspelled my name. Yes, misspelled my name. "Null," if you're interested. Oh, and the artist added those earrings. The hair? Yet another of the Bad Perms of the '80s.
AS they were leaving the Toowoomba Showgrounds in Glenvale, heading where ever it is they head. Noted some new machines this year.
The ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine is on exhibit at the Mill Valley Library this month. Visitors to this unique art project seem to really enjoy the experience: their faces tell the whole story in this photo album. Overall, the slot machine seems to have a positive social impact: it makes people happy, gets them inspired -- and can help some of them become art makers.
Come see the slot machine this month! Our poetic oracle awaits you every weekend, to share words of wisdom about your life and future.
The exhibit is open from 1 to 5pm every Saturday and Sunday in October, in the downstairs conference room of the Mill Valley Library.
Pataphysical Studio members will be on hand to demo the Slot Machine and share what they have learned while building this interactive art project.

Indian Jug and water knob are at the left and the Italian parts at the right of this image.
Around 2006 brand new atomics started appearing on the market. Though they didn't exactly look brand new... For many years prior to this the only source of Atomic coffee makers was second hand markets and auction houses. Lucky individuals found one in the attic or at a church sale, but most people had to bid high, and pay through the nose.
However all was not as it seemed with these new machines. Although they were labeled as being Bon Trading (australia) imports of Italian made Atomics- they were very poorly made with a rough, hand finished appearance. Many of them did not work very well, and they were 'not quite right'...
It was soon discovered that these machine were made in India and falsely labeled as being made in 'Italy'. The prices of these dodgy machines dropped rapidly and then they disappeared from the market altogether. Today it is hard to find one of these Indian made Atomics and they are collectible in their own right.
For the collector interested in purchasing an Atomic it is a simple matter to identify one of these fakes. The most prominent difference between these machine and earlier Italian made Atomics is the boiler plug. On the Indian machine this plug sticks out in an ugly fashion. Other obvious differences can be seen in the bakelite parts. These parts are much thicker and are poorly formed compared to vintage Italian machines. The filter basket is distinctive: the holes in it appear to be randomly punched with a nail or similar implement by hand.
These machine are not too bad as a hand finished attempt to replicate the atomic form. It is by no means an easy (or cheap) process. Sand casting the body is an art in itself. It is clear this atomic was reverse engineered from an Italian made Atomic- probably a model dating from the 70's. They copied every detail right down to the label.
The example pictured here works and was actually used to make coffee by its original owners for over 4 years. When they purchased it they were told it 'was made in Italy'. When they complained of the poor quality they were sent another one...
However the machine was marketed deceptively, and we would not recommenced using one to actually to make coffee: they are poorly made from inferior materials. There are rumors the alloy was recycled from old car parts...
this example is in the Ikon Exports collection.
With its 6 cylinder engine sounding so smooth and sweet, and far far quieter than a Singer sewing machine, this gorgeous Mark 1 Triumph GT6 is for me, the epitome of classic British sports cars. Perhaps just lacking the wind in the hair, it is more than made up by the silky smooth power and the burbling exhaust that only the Trimph 6 cylinder engine can produce. And then theres the superb looks of the fastback hatch.........perhaps only matched by the MG and MGB????
this is a face from a ww2 RAF link trainer machine..this dummy now sits where the real-life trainee pilot would have sat..
Lot-9433-6: These Are The Ships And The Men Who Deliver Oil To The Allies. Despite Axis submarines, the U.S. is continuing to deliver oil for the Allied war machine. This success is due chiefly to two things – tankers and men. The tankers carry their own “cargo insurance” – big guns for the U-boats, machine guns for enemy aircraft. The men who man them are tough, fearless and capable of meeting any opposition the enemy has to offer. These pictures, made aboard a U.S. tanker, show the men at work and some of the measures taken to protect them. Shown: On board the tanker, Captain G. Eklund, Merchant Marine, checks the radio direction finder. The instrument helps determine the ship’s position, thus eliminating the use of radio transmitter, from which any enemy sub could spot the ship. Office of War Information Photograph, 16-22 April 1942. Original photograph is small. (2015/12/18).
Yesterday i was in Leeds, Probably my second home maybe...and me and my friend managed to spot this absolutely insane sounding machine. This R8 V10 was fitted with a Capristo Exhaust system, adding around 20-25BHP, and using a series of valves to give the car a more brutal note. We were chatting to the owner whilst he was on the Headrow, talking about the exhaust system and his steering wheel from the R8 GT too. And hopefully, i may get a photoshoot out from this car too one day. Amazing!

The Hudson Brougham Convertible was built late in the production year to stimulate sales. Construction started by removing the top from a coupe and then adding the canvas top. Approximately 140 were built.
The engine block is chrome alloy and is so hard that it is very difficult to machine. This car also includes an overdrive transmission.
Hidden Warbirds - Lost and Found
My full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/849224594
At the outbreak of World War II, the United States engaged in an effort to churn out warplanes at a rate unprecedented in history. At the end of the War, the vast majority of these War heroes were flown to huge junkyards, waiting their turn to be turned into aluminum ingots. For several decades these now old-fashioned airplanes were forgotten; however, films as "Tora, Tora, Tora" and "The Battle of Britain" revived an fledgling interest in these heroic machines.
This fascinating book tells the story of the great lengths people have gone to to recover what was once discarded trash, to be turned into pristine restorations worth millions of dollars and the delight of huge crowds at airshows. This book explores the recovery of old wrecks from the highest mountains and deepest oceans, the steamy jungles of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea to the isolated frozen wastes of Alaska and Greenland.
The ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine is on exhibit at the Mill Valley Library this month.

Poulton Signalbox was demolished over three days in February 2018. On Monday and Tuesday 19th and 20th February the interior and roof were dealt with by hand to salvage reusable items and to separate small waste.
On Wednesday 21st February 2018 the structure was demolished by machine.
This series follows the Wednesday operation.
We hosted a special event about ‘Pataphysics, the “science of imaginary solutions” -- and its founder, french poet Alfred Jarry, as part of our educational programs this month at the Mill Valley Library. This one-hour lecture and group discussion was held on October 15 in the Creekside Room, and engaged dozens of local community members in a fascinating conversation about the art movement that inspired surrealism and dadaism. Our presenters were Marshall Smith and Priscilla Wheeler, with creative contributions by Mark Petrakis, Freddy Hahne, as well as Fabrice and Phyllis Florin.
This program complements the first public exhibit of the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine, our poetic oracle, which is on display this month at the Mill Valley Library. Come see the slot machine this month! The exhibit is open from 1 to 5pm every Saturday and Sunday in October, in the downstairs conference room of the Mill Valley Library.
