I am a science writer and independent museum consultant who is interested in the intersection of art and science. I am also fascinated by the history and philosophy of science. Check this blog for notes and updates about cool art-and-science miscellany.
The Antikythera Mechanism is a device pulled from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. It was originally built thousands of years ago by the ancient Greeks, and has been found to calculate the future dates of astronomical events. The level of sophistication, apparently, is astounding. And now, someone has created a working copy made out of Legos. Brilliant.
