BY JALENY REYES STAFF WRITER

The concept of mass-produced objects having souls was introduced in the ongoing Tuesday Night Lecture Series. The guest of the hour was Adam Richardson, who discussed the subject with students and staff. Richardson has a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in industrial design from the California College of the Arts, as well as a Master’s degree in humanities from the University of Chicago. During this series, he introduced his photography work to the audience which included typewriters, computing items and cameras. He said that his inspiration for this projection came mainly from when he was still in design school. “A lot of these [items] are just things I’ve accumulated because I like them because I’ve used them as my own products,” Richardson said. “It’s really just about the love of the designs and the physicality on all of them — it gives me an excuse to buy stuff on Ebay and go out and photograph things.” One of the main focuses were the Olivetti typewriters, which is a brand of Italian manufactured typewriters founded in 1908 by Camillo Olivetti. Richardson spent a good amount of the time speaking to the audence about the Olivetti Valentine, Praxis 48 JALENY REYES | SPARTAN DAILY and Lettera 36 typewriters.
