The Machine in Line is an informal visual reading group / workshop on diagrams and images of machines, taking place as part of Ellie Wyatt’s exhibition and book launch, A Box That Rolls Uphill.

Participants are invited to bring visual examples of diagrams that - however loosely - relate to ‘machines’ (these might include diagrams of scientific instruments, corporate strategies, bodily functions, speculative technologies, AI models, economic systems, imagined objects). Through discussions, drawing and collaborative mapping, we will take these examples as starting points to consider how diagrams construct and represent objects, systems, realities, problems and potentials, and work to create diagrammatic models of our own.

Participants are asked to bring:

• at least one printed image of a diagram (but please bring as many as you like)
• any other relevant materials you would like to share (books, articles, etc)
• drawing, painting, cutting and writing tools (Ellie will be providing only basic materials)

The room has step-free access, for any other access questions please email Ellie at ellie.wyatt@network.rca.ac.uk.
