Philip Lusterko & the Memory Machine
“Philip Lusterko and the Memory Machine,” is a limited edition artist book and series of photographic prints that chronicle an imagined history of a nineteenth-century scientist who inadvertently invented photography while failing to prove that memory is a mechanical process. Lusterko’s original machines, fragmented journals, and photographic plates, piece together the story of Lusterko’s life long endeavour to build the 'Memory Machine', sum of his experiments, conjectures, and nightmares which was intended to be a functioning Mechanical Mind. Lusterko's work failed to prove that there was a mechanical basis for memory, but succeeded in mapping and physically constructing an intricate metaphor for the functions of the human mind.
