As a Machine and Parts

3.3/5 ( ratings)

“It started last Tuesday. I awoke from unsettling dreams, as they say, to find my left elbow replaced by a rotational hinge joint.”

Mitchell, a twenty-something nobody, wakes each morning next to his midlife girlfriend, living an ever- thinning line between human and machine. As his literal condition progresses he loses his capacity for human emotion, and potentially with it, Marsha.

As a Machine and Parts is a story of Mitchell’s struggle to discover which assembly line he belongs to.

As a Machine and Parts integrates illustrative elements to render a story beyond conventional text. As Mitchell morphs from human to machine, the text morphs too, from a handwritten style to a typed font and ultimately to a schematic diagram.

As a Machine and Parts immerses you in ways that traditional print storytelling cannot.
