THE MACHINE STOPS
“The Machine Stops” is a personal project of graphic designer Marco Kindler von Knobloch and illustrator Daniel Stolle. This is only the first image of a series. The full series can be seen on my website. The basis of this project is a short story of the same title by E.M. Forster. An exhibition of “The Machine Stops” took place from October 5th to October 26th, 2019 at Galleria Kuvitus in Helsinki, Finland. We are building our own machine right now. We are connected to many. We talk less and less to only one. We always document and broadcast. We seldom look twice or actively listen. We are endlessly busy. We rarely reflect on what we are doing and why. This is a project in progress. We are interpreting a text, but we are also exploring our personal and sometimes separate views of the future. Things are dark, but we do not want to show a dystopia – a theme all too common in the entertainment our machines give us lately. Desperation or aspiration – our work is a dialogue to find one voice to walk this line.
