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.

On the front of a steam special from Waterloo, or the rear of another to Salisbury - take your pick!
Waiting in the sidings at Fratton before running down to Portsmouth and Southsea for the Salisbury departure.
Unusual to see a North British machine this far south!
When I bought a Coca Cola at vending machine, this Santa Claus printed Coke
came out.
It was the first time to see Christmas version of Cake, so I felt
excitement against Christmas is coming soon.
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.

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.

Detail of the second generation coding machine. This coding machine was known as the "Easy View" as letters were presented horizontally to the operator, rather than vertically as on previous machines.
This photo shows a sticker on the machine displaying the local short codes.
Cute and spiky, and an eating machine! This little dude and his buddies are helping me keep the rampant growth of my Passiflora 'Waterloo Blue' in check.
Elections or not, they just keep chuggin' along.
Apparently a maintenance worker used this room to sneak off and prepare single servings of rice in this machine. This was nowhere near the kitchen, just a random rice cooker that was likely used internally by employees.
Part of my series on Nature and Machines.
This image is of several drill bits for the CNC machine. Post work done with CS2. This image is paired with the 'Green Onions Rain' in my series.

The kit arrives...
I CNC Machined this ring from 6AL4V Titanium bar for my much better half as a Christmas gift.. It has 4mm Pink Tourmaline in the center and 3.75mm Blue Zircon and Citrine on each end.
This huge display was full of items that were horse drawn or related and usually ridden by man. A rocking horse, stage coach, sleigh, wheat mowing machine. this was a fascinating display taking some time to see and grasp it all. This is part of the exhibits in the International Museum of the Horse at the Kentucky Horse Park.
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean machine .
This is the sign above Allerton Fire Station near Penny Lane which provided the reference to the fireman in The Beatles song " Penny Lane " written by Paul McCartney .

The tunnels underneath the Potomac River are being dug by a German-made tunnel-boring machine. This one cost $30 million and was named Lady Bird.
Another of my stuffed bunnies - she has pink felt behind and a vintage floral fabric in front. I tried to use the sewing machine this time to apply the face patch.
She looks a little sad, but maybe she just needs love. A hug maybe?

The Main Concourse is the center of Grand Central. The space is cavernous and usually filled with bustling crowds. The ticket booths are here, although many now stand unused or repurposed since the introduction of ticket vending machines.
This is a 3 shot HDR image, done with Photomatix and then run through Photoshop.
This is possibly the first ever photograph of a ‘recording studio’. It was taken some time in 1898 at 31, Maiden Lane, London, where the Gramophone Co set up their first permanent recording room.
The process was far removed from CD’s and the recording machine being used is an ‘acid-etch disc recording machine’. This produced a flat metal disc [rather than a cylinder] that could be mass reproduced using various up-to-date [for then] applications, including steel, wax, acid and a lot of luck!
Usually cylinder recordings were made 6 – 10 at a time as they could not be mass produced – so if you wanted 100 the artist had to redo their performance 10+ times! So even at this early stage the disc was on a winner.
Until 1925 electricity did not play a part in the recording, just the physical volume of the artist down the horn [in the photo it is pointing at the elevated piano which has the player sitting on a very high chair as the piano or artist had to be in direct line with the horn] caused the needle / stylus to ‘waggle’ and cut the sound grove! In 1898 the louder the artist the better the recording.
In these early years it was a novelty – an expensive one – by 1902 a top notch disc, one sided and containing no more than 3 minutes of entertainment - could cost £1 when a live-in maid could earn as little as £10 a year.
NOTE: This photo must have been 'staged' as the back of the piano would have being facing the horn for a recording.
NOTE: According to the EMI Archive Trust the lady sitting at the studio piano is Amy Williams who was the Recording Department secretary and also accompanied the vocalists.

This was inside what I can only assume was the shop classroom at Lambertville High School. The side of the machine says Pratt & Whitney Tape-O-Matic. I looked it up and it's a CNC Vertical Milling Machine. This is definately one of the coolest things left in the school.
Another cool thing about this school is how freakishly cold it gets inside. The yellow bucket was solid ice and the temperature outside on this day was about 45. As soon as you walk into the school you feel a good 20 degree temperature drop.
Here is a picture of one of these machines in use.
I LOVE sandwiches, specially with the bread I make in my bread machine. This is one of my favourites! For the chicken salad I just added some mayo, onios, dried oregano and olive oil with diced chicken breast.
I usually toast the bread but this day I was so hungry that I had to choose between taking the photo or toasting the bread, because both would take too much time!
For the sandwich: 2 slices of my whole wheat bread, some chicken salad, tomatoes (very ripe), sprouts and lettuce.
Very simple, very Good!
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 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

This area represents the earliest Plymouth Cordage spinning loft, where the first ropemaking took place. The orginal spinning floor was 10 times this long but was in use for less than two decades. With the introduction of mechanical spinning machines, this hand-spinning loft and its workers became obsolete.

When I was in Chicago, Nora was a jumping machine. This was the 77th shot at the second location we went to. I was torn between a few good ones. Best part: a tourist was there waiting for someone to take a photo of him with the statue. He hung around watching us and asked Nora if she was in the WNBA.
Was asked to make this helmet as close to race spec as possible. Many parts changed and added.
1/ Red aluminium anodised pivot screws
2/ Zn plated steel chinstrap screws
3/ Flanged button headed socket screws for the visor limit
4/ Clear visor with visor stripe and rain strip
5/ Drinks tube with tie bases and zip-ties
6/ Union Jack tear-off's
7/ Tear-off tension posts on the visor
8/ Drinks tube hole drilled
9/ Drinks tube added through into the helmet with 1/2 scale tie bases and tie-wraps added. Tie bases were laser machined.
This custom helmet is now even more custom and real ....

This is the larger and very expensive version of the Burmese kind of tractor/truck. Most farmers still have only oxes supporting them. Only the very rich can afford such a machine.
This one was needing a fresh pair of tyres and was standing next to a tyre shop (in the background)
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...
- Unicef
and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)
This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.
Please help, the burmese people need it.
