“What we need are machines that will enable us to do all the things we could do before we had them plus all the new things we don’t yet know we can do.”

— John Cage

Machine Schematics

Now available in our shop — schematics for three of the Machines used to create the Corona Lectures. Each pdf is a guide to the theory and practice of the Machine it covers, a consideration of the impetus behind its creation, a step-by-step guide to employing it yourself or modifying it for your discipline, and a consideration of the results of our own operations. The Simple Machine, Wave Machine, and Machine Ablaze Schematics are available now in our shop. Check them out today and change your way of thinking about art.

Also available — transcripts for all Corona Lectures. Check them out!
