one of our newest volunteers is a first year undergrad who ran a typewriter repair business out of his parents' garage during high school. now he's fixing our duplicating machines - including this Ditto spirit duplicator (we just need to get the spirit recipe right and it'll be perfect)

"Its significance is more interesting than that. It was one of the machines experimenting with the relationship between computers and music before that relationship became completely ordinary." I'm a huge MAL fan and in their newsletter you learn a ton about the history & sociology of media tech! 🧪

we're accessioning again

why did this include the URL twice? no clue!

we're having a MAL-o-ween art party on Wednesday Oct. 14th! We'll be in the main lab from 3-5 with snacks, a collaborative zine, and plenty of spooky dusty tech to make art with - including a newly-fixed 1940s spirit duplicator!

This is in one week! It will be fun!

we'll be hosting a collage-your-own-tarot event in the MAL pop-up space (CASE building, room W250) all day on October 12! Join our fantastic grad resident Colleen and explore the history of tarot as a technology of meaning-making and make your own cards!

it's fun how much bodies are antennas

it's so cool and also so derpy

Our new zine, 'How to Spend Ten Years Repairing a Computer and Why You Should Too', is here! We'd like to send out some free copies, so the first 50 emails with the subject line "Zine, please" to [email protected] will get a copy (U.S. only, sorry folks)
