There is no psychologizing, no story, no anthropological perspective… it’s just about the machines themselves, and their sensory, tactile appeal. It’s sort of like listening to a recording of the wilderness. This piece is so unapologetically, joyously superficial that you just can’t help but be sort of bowled over. There is something so pure about that. Why not use this piece along with Brett Martin’s piece on prayer and gambling to create some programming on gambling… or more broadly, on the nature of chance.
