Turn off yer TeeVee (put it in a museum and listen to the rain)
Amongst fossilized freshwater fish, recreations of some kind of elephant mammoth which once roamed the Lake Biwa area, next to archaeologist “cosplay” outfits with rubber boots, jackets and hard hats, just down the way from re-creations of farm houses from semi-recent-not- modern eras, not far from the plexiglass wrap around overhead tunnel of live freshwater fish…
around the corner from some kind of dragon beast, which was next to rebuilt sailing vessel, next to flags from various boats hanging proudly as the last vestige of thousands of hours of work…
boat building woodwork hand tools, steam ship posters and various models of microscopic organisms came TVs, many TVs, playing newsreels appropriate to their time of use, mostly Showa times
These are for archivists, sketchers/artists, curiosity seekers, and others who realize that if devices aren’t maintained, the knowledge used to create those devices is also lost
For the record: I’m not a fan of the TV machine, it’s just not my medium, it’s very “hot” after all (did I get that right Andrew McLuhan?) but I can get behind anything when put into a museum context
There were also washing machines, many washing machines, are you curious?
Maybe an oven or, other items which I may or may not have documented due to a malfunctioning robot and lack of preparedness
More from this museum, maybe I’ll get there eventually, I mean the writing about it that is
