postyism

a very literal take on the name of the book do androids dream of electric sheep? by philip k. dick in the 1960s.

the typewriter is/was a letter-typing device. the routine of typing in perfectly formatted rows is interrupted, and the machine is given a new task - to draw from an artist's perspective.
a glitched-out printer would start printing overlaid symbols; the machine taking control of its own fate. if only a typewriter too... which is basically the predecessor of a computing machine, an analog machine instead of an android.
when a typewriter starts fabricating, does it start dreaming too?
