Jeremy Mayer turns inoperative typewriters into art

Nah, Jeremy Mayer's typewriter-based creations aren't anything new for him, but he's used his years of practice to get a few installations on display at the Nevada Museum of Art. Most notable is the human-like creature above, which was assembled head to toe with now-defunct typewriter parts. So if you just so happen to be in the area, why not stop on by (before December 2nd) and see if you can hack it to send out an email or something.

If it runs a marathon, do the keys get stuck?

no, they'll rust because of lack of hydration :)

No, they will rust BECAUSE of hydration.

Oil is to machines what water is to humans. Water destroys machines while oil (can) destroys humans.

Reminds me of the production models of HK-47... "Suggestion: Shall we find something to kill to cheer ourselves up, Master?"

looks like it was put together with hot glue. It might take a while to get the whole thing done but I'm pretty sure it will blend.

I, for one, welcome our robotic typewriter overlords.
