Press release: The Fidget spinning drawing machine: Usefulness and uselessness will be explored with Ian Dawson's fidget spinning drawing machines. The latest object to become a craze will be repurposed as a writing machine. Visitors will be asked to invent ways to write with a fidget spinner. But what does this writing tell us about ourselves and what does it say of the machine that we have used to write with? By exploring traces and memories, (made by a modern tool) the workshop will playfully question some of the archaeological metaphors that Freud was so fascinated with.
