This new installation centers early-20th-century artists’ relationships to their environments and highlights the role of agriculture and urbanization in shifting cultural perceptions of time. In one corner of the gallery, three objects visualize this period in American history. Constructed from recycled materials, a clock made locally by Athens doctor William B. Conway in 1897 shares space with a cast-iron weathervane created around the same time.

Smalltalk wasn’t just a language; it was a philosophy of the human-computer relationship. At its heart was the idea the computers should be user-malleable: reshapable by each person to be the machine they wanted it to be.
SmallTalk’s impact is hard to overestimate. Most famously, along with CLU and Simula, it gave us objects and OOP — not just in the narrow mid-80s “everything is an object!” sense, but in the broader sense of interface-implementation separation that groups related state and behavior into a tidy abstraction. Its fingerprints are alllll oooover modern programming. But that’s not all.
