![]() So perhaps it doesn't reveal the performance limits of Adobe's approach. Graphically, the game has got lots of animated sprites moving around the screen, but I wouldn't guess it's pushing the processing envelope the way full-screen video or high-powered physics engines do. Machinarium has a lavishly rendered world full of ducts, rust, plants that look like they got lost on the way to the bottom of the sea, and buffoonish bad guys. I confess I just squandered an hour playing it instead of writing this story. In Machinarium, released yesterday, the player guides a robot through a variety of brain-teasing puzzles in an pleasantly grungy junkyard world. It's a Flash game recompiled for iOS, according to Andrew Trice, an Adobe evangelist. Machinarium, a $5 game for the iPad 2, rose to No. I'm talking about the programmers at Amanita Design, whose Flash-derived game Machinarium just ascended the popularity charts at Apple's App Store. I'm not talking about Adobe Systems-maker of Flash, its close cousin AIR, and the Flash Pro developer tools that let programmers turn AIR apps into native iOS apps-though of course Adobe is happy. ![]() Mexico City.Some folks must be happy that exactly one year ago, Apple reversed its ban on Flash-derived iOS apps.

I-machinarius is an industrial machine with a lubrication system that controls the flow of crude oil. Its functionality is a stark contrast with the field of the social imaginary, seriously disrupted by the entrenched idea of insecurity, incapacity, and failure. The meaning of this machine arises from the idea that defines it as a conduit for intensifying energy flow, involving the extraction and waste of resources. I-machinarius is an overflowing machine, symbolically injured, which articulates a question about sovereignty and energy dependence in the global context. Asimismo, la pieza fue exhibida en la Universidad de Texas en medio de la celebración del bicentenario del movimiento independentista en México. La obra ha sido exhibida en el Laboratorio de Arte Alameda de la Ciudad de México como parte de un taller de arte sobre recursos energéticos relacionados con las últimas reformas legislativas a la política nacional. Dicho flujo es continuo y la máquina lentamente termina por desbordarse. I-machinarius es una máquina industrial con un sistema de lubricación que controla el flujo de petróleo crudo. Su desbordamiento, es una alegoría no de un pensamiento abstracto del país, sino de una sociedad perturbada por una arraigada idea de incapacidad, fracaso e inseguridad. Esta máquina es un caudal de energía, que depende de la extracción y del desperdicio. I-machinarius es una máquina simbólicamente herida, que articula cuestionamientos sobre la soberanía nacional y la dependencia energética en el contexto global.
