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.
