MachineHistories is a design collaborative that focuses on using the margins of mass production along with locating sentimentality, incorporating difference, involving mistakes and applying technology. Patrick Dachtler, Steven Joyner, Clancy Pearson and Jason Pilarski are the members that make up MachineHistories. The group's designs are derived from the idea of involving a collection of machines and technologies, and factoring in the language, the gesture -- i.e., the history of that said device.
