New, high power LED eyeballs under test on the arduino breadboard.

This is a favourite of mine. It's a life-sized automaton of carved and painted wood in London's V and A museum. It represents a tiger devouring a prostrate European in 1790's dress. A crank handle operates two mechanisms to move the man's jointed arms and simulate roars and groans. A flap in the tiger's flank conceals an organ keyboard, stops and pipework. It belonged to Tipu Sultan, 'the Tiger of Mysore', an inveterate enemy of the British.
Horlage a automates commandée par le cogedim a Jacques Comestier en 1975 inaugurée en 8 octobre 1979 par le marie de Paris Jacques Chirac.
En attente de restauration après une longue période d’arrêté, l'automate ne fonctionne pas pour en temps indéterminée.
[These are the words of the two plaques installed just under the clock.]

The Fire Garden at Tate Modern, one of the events to mark the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London as part of Great Fire 350.
Fire Garden
A crackling, spitting, after-dark adventure
Compagnie Carabosse disrupt public spaces with flaming artworks that remind us of our most elemental human need.
With burning metal structures, cascading candles and flickering flowerpots, Fire Garden transformed the front lawn of Tate Modern into a crackling and spitting, after-dark adventure as part of London's Burning. With live music and other intriguing goings-on, audiences were invited to experience fire like never before and remember the blaze that changed London forever.
One of France’s most prominent street art groups, Compagnie Carabosse are a collective comprising of artistic designers, constructors, actors, musicians, technicians, inventors, poets, photographers and visual artists. For almost 20 years they have been working in public spaces throughout Europe and the world. They are driven by the philosophy that public spaces and streets should remain open to everyone and be a place for self expression and freedom.

See what happens when I can't get to sleep at night. I was looking at some recent photos that I had taken of one of my relatives and started playing around with it. After adding 7 more shots (textures, mechanical elements, gold specks, background, etc.) and using a number of PS6 techniques, I came up with something that I thought look a little like the automaton that was used in the movie "Hugo." And since I am a big fan of Georges Melies, I thought it was rather fitting.
Uberkaboom's first single "Automaton (I Am Not)" will be released on the 11.11.11 at 11.11. on Metric Acorn via iTunes, Bandcamp, Amazon, HMV, eMusic and others.
The single launch party will be in the Wheelbarrow in Camden from 8pm and is FREE to get in!

This is a short video showing the delay circuit in action. I have temporarily attached the motor/gearbox so that you can see what happens when the start switch is momentarily pressed. If it turns out that a 1 second delay is not long enough it will be a simple matter to replace the 10K resistor with say a 22K to give a little over 2 seconds delay.

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.
