Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus



The Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus is a drawing machine illustrating a never-ending story by the use of patent drawings.
It is drawing machine translates the story into drawing. By Julius von Bismarck and Benjamin Maus.
"The machine translates words of a text into patent drawings. Seven million patents linked by over 22 million references form the vocabulary. By using references to earlier patents, it is possible to find paths between arbitrary patents. They form a kind of subtext.
New visual connections and narrative layers emerge through the interweaving of the story with the depiction of technical developments. "
