The Great Calculation Machine Exhibition | SF

Early calculators were unwieldy, noisy, smelly machines that required constant maintenance.

Local mechanical engineer Mark Glusker collects them and museum exhibit designer Maria Mortati explores them. They will be in residence at Southern Exposure to provide a series of lectures, interactive performances, workshops, and an exhibition focused on mechanical calculating machines.

Gallery Hours: Wednesday – Saturday, April 10 – 13, 2013, noon to 6pm daily, with extended evening hours during events.

The talk culminates with an live calculation performance by eight participants and a musical performance by Mat Dryhurst inspired by the calculating machines. Mat Dryhurst is an artist, musician, curator, and technologist who has performed at numerous venues throughout the Bay Area.
