SUMMARY:An Antiquarian Horologist on Mechanism\, Risk\, & Wonder
DESCRIPTION:Brittany Cox: An Antiquarian Horologist on Mechanism\, Risk\, & Wonder\n\n\nThis is the third and final program in the On Time: Giving Form to the Fleeting exhibition lecture series.\nAntiquarian Horologist Brittany Nicole Cox traces the origins of her craft across time and objects\, tools and stories. \nThis talk delves into a chronology of subjects that have profoundly influenced the objects the artist has created and worked on throughout her career. The context in which these objects were made fostered a unique archetypal knowledge that has shaped various crafts. For instance\, the ornamental turning of kings led to the development of engine turning or guilloche\, a style primarily employed by craftsmen on a diverse range of objects\, including horological ones. Similarly\, the invention of automata by the Greeks for entertainment and pleasure eventually found their way into scenes of wonder or spectacle. This evolution led to the emergence of technologies that paved the way for the first programmable computers and later contributed to the development of mechanical detonators in bombs and timers for space exploration. This rich history is intertwined with profound philosophical insights into humankind’s vulnerabilities and nature. As a historian\, Cox aims to illuminate this knowledge\, as a conservator\, she strives to protect the objects born from it\, and as an artist\, she aspires to resurrect and share this heritage. \n \nHYBRID PROGRAM\nThis lecture will be presented in the theater in the Ellen MacNeille Charles Visitor Center and will be livestreamed via Zoom.
