“But 2,000 years underwater didn’t do the #Antikythera mechanism many favors. Seawater rich with salts and other chemical compounds reacted with the high amount of copper in the bronze mechanism, slowly corroding it and replacing it with a green-hued rock known as #atacamite.”

When art and "theory" mystifies instead of revealing the process of social production, it is doing the work of reproducing #capitalism. No wonder it's funded! This happens a lot in science art and especially with #AI. Prime example of this mess: the #antikythera project: https://research.antikythera.org/

Es ist getan: Ich habe meinen virtuellen Nachbau des Mechanismus von #Antikythera an der #ScienceComm25 an der Uni St. Gallen vorgestellt. Auf dass beides, die antike astronomische Rechenmaschine und ihre Entdeckungsgeschichte, den Weg zu einem grösseren Publikum finden.
