04 / THE MECHANICS OF BECOMING / 2026

Human–Machine History traces the long evolution of the bond between humans, tools, machines, and technological systems. The journey begins with the Agricultural Revolution, when early tools changed how societies lived, worked, and organized themselves. Visitors move through a stone-carved timeline as inventions and mechanisms unfold across centuries of progress. Compressed sloping walls, filtered light, and engraved histories turn development into an immersive spatial sequence. The Mechanics of Becoming reveals the machine not as something separate from the human, but as part of humanity’s continuous becoming.
