The Museum of Ephemerata presents its latest exhibition, MACHINES, at our NEW LOCATION in East Austin! MACHINES will survey technology from the industrial revolution to today, with an emphasis on wondrous instruments, technological utopias, & forgotten industries. A cylindrical Edison phonograph and stereoscopic photography appear beside a dream machine and nanopuppy in the Machine Arcade. The last part of a trilogy with Skin & Bones and Crystallization & Drift, MACHINES confounds the very idea of its topic: What are machines, precisely? On what do they depend? What do they produce? How is a museum a machine? What happens when machines malfunction? Nanotechnology's invisible objects and molecular biology's talk of ribosomes as machines fall in line with the Museum's vision. Witness "THE DIME MUSEUM OF THE BIOTECH ERA," where transgenetic jackalopes are poised on the edge of myth!
