The phrase deus ex machina (Latin IPA: [,,deːus eks ,,maːkʰina] (literally "god out of a machine") describes an unexpected, artificial, or improbable character, device, or event introduced suddenly in a work of fiction or drama to resolve a situation or untangle a plot (e.g. an angel suddenly appearing to solve problems).

Deus Ex Machina is the cooperative venture of Phoenix artists Michele Bledsoe, Richard Bledsoe, and Jeff Falk. Part of the vibrant Grand Avenue art scene, the artist run space is located in the historic La Melgosa Building.

Artists don't create worlds, we make talismans that remind us of possibilities. Deus Ex Machina is dedicated to miraculous outcomes produced by the display of obsessive explorations...and the spirit made visible.

God IS the machine.
