Four years after #HGWells published 'The Time Machine' (1895), #AlfredJarry wrote 'How to Construct a Time Machine' (1899).

Jarry (pataphysics, Ubu Roi) was a French #Symbolist poet, playwright, and influencer on #Dadaism, #Surrealism, #Futurism, #Absurdism and #Conceptualism. His works inspired avant-garde thinkers and arts movements of the 20th century.

From Wikipedia: https://Wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel

... "In 1982, a group in Baltimore, Maryland, identifying itself as the Krononauts, hosted an event of this type welcoming visitors from the future ... Some versions of the many-worlds interpretation can be used to suggest that future humans have traveled back in time, but have traveled back to the meeting time and place in a parallel universe" ...

Hey #music, can somebody recommend me new #rock bands?

Extra points for a good balance between innovation and respect for the past.

I appreciate #conceptualism and #avantgarde but not too abstract. I wanna be able to play and sing the songs.

I appreciate it @Mastodon
