Visual Materials
Architect: Unidentified Description: Various English style homes with thatched and shingle roofs [England?]. No copy prints for positive plates. These photographs were probably taken during Clarke's trip to England for the Los Angeles Pressed Brick Company [c. 1923-25]. His work, Minor English domestic architecture: being a collection of plates from photographs made by Wm. M. Clarke of the cottages and lesser domestic work of the English country-side, in three volumes, was published c. 1923-25. Even though none of these photographs are in that work, they are very similar in content and composition.

When an enigmatic monolith is found buried on the moon, scientists are amazed to discover that it's at least 3 million years old. Even more amazing, after it's unearthed the artifact releases a powerful signal aimed at Saturn. What sort of alarm has been triggered? To find out, a manned spacecraft, the Discovery, is sent to investigate. Its crew is highly trained--the best--and they are assisted by a self-aware computer, the ultra-capable HAL 9000. But HAL's programming has been patterned after the human mind a little too well. He is capable of guilt, neurosis, even murder, and he controls every single one of Discovery's components. The crew must overthrow this digital psychotic if they hope to make their rendezvous with the entities that are responsible not just for the monolith, but maybe even for human civilization.
