An automaton (plural: automata) is a self-operating machine, or control mechanism designed to follow automatically a predetermined sequence of operations. It is often used to describe moving sculptures that have been made to resemble humans or animals in action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, automata were considered technological marvels of their time. However, contemporary automata has it\u2019s emphasis on art, rather than technological sophistication. Contemporary automata are represented by the works of Cabaret Mechanical Theatre in the United Kingdom,\u00a0\u00a0Le D\u00e9fenseur du Temps by French artist Jacques Monestier,\u00a0Thomas Kuntz, Dug North, & Brian Poor in the United States. I hope one day my name will be added to the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inspiration for my automata come from the fantastical stop motion animations of Jan \u0160vankmajer, Bolexbrothers, Quay Brothers, Ji\u0159\u00ed Trnka, Mike Jittlov, Ray Harryhausen, and Tim Burton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
