Secrets of Automata

House of Automata presents: Secrets of Automata

How Automata makers represent life and nature with the artful application of mechanism.

Including automata that demonstrate Dancing, Toxophily, Walking, Funambulism, Eating and Smoking.

This is an illuminated presentation revealing secrets passed down through generations and largely undocumented. Many of these methods of replicating life exist only in the antique automata that survive.

.

Michael & Maria Start from The House of Automata will explain just how it is done using projections and real automata that are rarely seen playing and performing.

.

At the end there will be time for questions and the opportunity to closely inspect the automata if desired.

Part of the 2025 Nairn Book & Arts Festival
