'Radical Machines' - Chinese Typewriter Exhibit

Uncategorized Download To My Calendar
Be the first to discover the international debut of "Radical Machines: Chinese in the Information Age" at San Diego Chinese Historical Museum!

Explore the seemingly impossible, yet technologically crucial Chinese typewriter -- a machine that inputs a language with no alphabet, yet has more than 70,000 characters.

Experience the puzzles themselves along with other rare Chinese and Pan-Asian IT artifacts and materials from printing, telegraphy, typewriting and computing in China, Japan and Korea -- the first exhibition of its kind.

Award-winning Stanford historian Dr. Thomas S. Mullaney is the curator of the exhibit, which comes from his personal collection.

This exhibit will only be on view from Jan. 21, 2017 - April 16, 2017 at SDCHM before it moves to San Francisco, New York and Hong Kong.
