DESIGN
OF
AUTOMATA
Modern automata are crank driven mechancial sculptures
that show some sort of object in motion.
The design of these machines can be very complex, and
requires a lot of experience. However, by the help of
computer design software it is possible to make the
process much easier.

KINETIC
ART
Kinetic art is art that depends on motion for its effects.
The word kinetic means relating to motion. Since the early
twentieth century artists have been incorporating movement
into art. This has been partly to explore the possibilities
of movement, partly to introduce the element of time, partly
to reflect the importance of the machine and technology in
the modern world and partly to explore the nature of vision.
