The Burroughs Machine are a group of people from the Retford area who share an interest in William Burroughs. The group includes a tattooist, an IT technician, a school technician/plasterer and a retired Paul Smith shop designer. Their first exhibition at x-church used drawing, painting, installation, photography, interactive video (VORTEXT - big projected swirling word vortex pre-loaded with one million plus words and randomly generating sentences) and many bags of plaster to produce a stunning show that filled the vast coldness of the nave.
