Mechanics Alive! Cabaret Mechanical Theatre Automata Exhibition

Automata exhibition called Mechanics Alive!!! organised by Cabaret Mechanical Theatre at the Scotland Street Museum in Glasgow. Kinetic art models by Paul Spooner, Keith Newstead, Ron Fuller, Peter Markey and Matt Smith.

I forgot to fully charge the camcorder, so the video is missing the final four pieces in the exhibition.

Where do you go to to learn about how to build automata?

[stuartblink]

@ominousfeeling23 - There are a few books worth seeking out. 1. Automata and Mechanical Toys

by Rodney Peppe 2. Making Mad Toys & Mechanical Marvels by Rodney Frost 3. Cabaret Mechanical Movement: Understanding by Aidan Lawrence Onn. They will give you a good start.

@jhernandez125 - Sorry you don't like the music. I think it works well with the wierdness of the automata. Thanks for watching

Thanks so much for putting this up. I loved the exhibition when it was in Glasgow now I can show my friends who missed it. Im surprised kinetic art models arent more popular, though I dont know how much effort it takes to make them :)

This is GREAT! Clear shots, not too much background chatter, each machine is focused on for long enough to enjoy it, not a lot of glare off of the vitrines, and the music is perfect!
