"I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person."

Oscar Wilde (via human-voices)

Lordy, very wise words.

mediumaevum:

Monstrance Clock or Mirror Clock, ca. 1570Made in Nuremberg, GermanyCase of gilt bronze; dial of gilt brass; movement of steel

In addition to showing the hours, the astrolabe dial of this clock (parts of which are now missing) was made to indicate the apparent motions of twenty-three stars in the northern hemisphere, the position of the sun and the moon in the zodiac, the astrological houses of heaven, and the age and phase of the moon in its monthly cycle. 
The recessed ring encircling the chapter of hours gives the day of the year, saints’ days, and other calendrical information for the period beginning in 1570 and ending in 1610. The dial on top is for setting the alarm. The inclusion of a clock such as this one in a Kunstkammer would have demonstrated the owner’s familiarity with cosmology, astronomy, and astrology.

i love all the information contained in this object

The linotype machine was invented by Ottmar Mergenthaler, and he lived only a few blocks from MICA’s campus along with Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald. 

This machine was revolutionary in it’s time for being able to quickly create a line of type instead of having to hand set every letter. It is an extremely complex and intriguing invention. If you live on the east coast, see if there’s a viewing near you (there will be one at RISD and MICA!) and check it out!

YEAH! Get the word out! This will be the 3rd showing in all of time! The movie was literally just finished!
