This is a view of the entire room installation Sarah L. Hunt did for her solo show, The Hesitation Waltz. This title is taken from 1920's dance moves (the better known Fox Trot is from this era as well).

 

Sarah designed and hand-painted the wall paper of leaping donkeys as well as constructed large-scale automatons of donkeys.

Design for my college project. Using all recycled materials, and to be used as an exemplar of joints and mechanisms for KS3 kids.

This delightful Paper Automaton, designed by Rob Ives is a hen which pecks at it's feed when the lever is pressed. It is cut out and glued together from a card net.

 

Switch back and forth between the two pictures to see the hen peck :-)

 

If you would like to make this Automaton, it can be found in Paper Automata - Rob Ives a Tarquin Publications book, also available to order from most bookstores.

This is a shot of a Lego robot. I was going for a lost in space kinda feel. Had to design the background with bits of Lego I had lying around. Plus this was taken in the dark with a red filter torch.

You can tell this was handpainted because of all the ridges and uneven painting.

Alvin is a cellular automaton. Eight different cells produce sound. The sound one cell produces is determined by what sound the other cells are making. This kind of interrelated input and output scheme is an artificial neural network; a simulation of a brain. Alvin imitates living organisms in another way, because the sound circuits are actually built and destroyed by one another, rather than just turned on or off. The sound jiggles metal powder just like heat jiggles chemicals in a living cell. It is a way of making dynamic order out of randomness.

 

The sounds Alvin can make are pseudosine waves between .5 hz and 100 hz. When a cell has only a little input, it is subsonic, and can be seen moving. As it gets more input, the tone increases in frequency. At about 100 hz, it can jostle components for new sound circuits, sending "outputs" to the other cells. Eventually, the cells kill each other and start over. Once a pattern has been started, it can evolve in this way for a long time, changing in complex and unpredictable ways. It is a bit like the sound of a computer dreaming.

The Silver Swan at The Bowes Museum

 

"This musical automaton is much loved and over the last century has become the icon of The Bowes Museum. The Silver Swan dates from 1773 and was first recorded in 1774 as a crowd puller in the Mechanical Museum of James Cox, a London showman and dealer. The internal mechanism is by John Joseph Merlin, a famous inventor of the time.

 

The American novelist Mark Twain also saw the Silver Swan at the Paris exhibition in 1867 and described it in his book The Innocents Abroad:

‘I watched the Silver Swan, which had a living grace about his movement and a living intelligence in his eyes - watched him swimming about as comfortably and unconcernedly as it he had been born in a morass instead of a jeweller’s shop - watched him seize a silver fish from under the water and hold up his head and go through the customary and elaborate motions of swallowing it..."
