Jackson Pollock redefined what it was to produce art. He removed prior boundaries to making art. His move away from conventionality was a liberating signal to future artists. It is my endeavour that machine assisted art will expand my horizons and lead me to new forms of artistic expression. 2 History of Machine Art

Since then I knew life would no longer be easy. I trained with the other youths. We were taught how to hold weapons and protect ourselves. No day would pass by without us getting bruised. If things were normal I would say it was cool. But in these times when lives are at stake I realize it isn’t. I wanted to keep my faith‚ to hope that maybe things would be better. But I can’t. Hope now is just a word‚ it’s meaning forgotten. At this moment‚ I’m waiting for the end to come with my hand firm on

The aim of this experiment is to measure‚ determine and analyses the parameters of single-phase or three-phase transformer and torque-speed characteristics of rotating machines. Besides that‚ we are required to differentiate the construction and winding of single-phase or three-phase transformer. Through this experiment‚ we have to develop the connection wiring for single-phase and three-phase transformer and
