The process results in long and layered equations, drawings and an endless source of references illustrated in a step by step process to further explain the construction of the device or machine.
We have familiarized ourselves with this elaborate system through Einstein, Sherlock Holmes, even the coyote as he tries to invent ways to capture the road runner. For this week's VOW, we have brought you one of those diagrams to life. It is highly engineered, highly interactive and social but the actual task of the machine might deceive its purpose and vision.
We introduce you to Melvin the Machine, the leading attraction of the 2010 Dutch Design Week. Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine is best described as a Rube Goldberg machine with a twist. Sources: Melvin the Machine. Radiolab Presents Symmetry.
