Local Automata artist Dug North visits our High School Artbotics Programs.
Automata (or sometimes ‘automatons’) is the plural form of automaton. Contemporary automata are a type of kinetic sculputure. The finished product is a hand-cranked device that employs a mechanism to animate a scene. They are the sophisticated cousins of mechanical toys and whirligigs, and the precursor to robots.
