Artwork inspired to the Automata culture and its technology. An Automaton is a relatively self-operating machine, or control mechanism designed to automatically follow a sequence of operations, or respond to predetermined instructions. Some automata, such as bellstrikers in mechanical clocks, are designed to give the illusion to the casual observer that they are operating under their own power. Since long ago, the term is commonly associated with automated puppets that resemble moving humans or animals, built to impress and/or to entertain people. Their intricate mechanisms took incredible skills on par of the most accomplished watch makers. As a feat of engineering I use it as a metaphor of the technological wonder we witness daily in the digital renaissance. A retro tribute to our talent driven movement.
