an
archaeology of device II - Lloyd
Godman
These
are implements and devices of work, objects of function,
conceived in the cerebral domain, and while they have
a specific aesthetic, they are designed in a certain manner
to realize the actions that alter substance, they are
devices of technology that perform the task of matter
exchange. These devices are at the `nuts and bolts' end
of the process of physical change. Often disregarded,
subordinated to their utilitarian tasks, they are designed
in such a manner because the mind understands the physics
that makes them function, the employment dictates the
object's form, the existence of any aesthetic is incidental
or of secondary concern.
