Mechanics Alive! Cabaret Mechanical Theatre Automata Exhibition 

13 yrs ago, the internet was fun like this. Now..... ? Not so much 😕 🙃 😐 😒 thanks for still being here! ❤️

The music really added to this amazing little bit of greatness

Fab range of pure and simple joys. Thank you so much.

A little-known relic of RU-vid history. Love it

I never get bored watching this video!!! So much fun!

Waliqadri - The automata are generally built to be powered by hand, so they have a handle that you rotate to create the motion. However, as these automata are in an exhibition they were all encased in perspex boxes to prevent people touching them and powered by an electrical motor. The visitor could press a big red button below each model which started the motor and made them move. Hope that helps.

This was awesome. Great editing, and I like the music choices... very fitting.

I love these! Thank you for sharing!!!

Wouldn't it be awesome 😎 to go to a gym and see these up high, hooked up to my machine. Matching my reps! I know I'd go more and enjoy it immensely! All those endorphins! Wooooow! Thanks ❤️ 😊 This video made me very happy

Not only are the mechanics ingenious, but the graphic quality (design and colors) is superb. Am privileged to leave the 100th comment here!

Thanks for putting this up, I have always liked looking at automata, seeing how they actually move with all the gearing it's pretty cool.

SPECTACULAR! I love this thank you for sharing. I have initiated a toy making project in my community, great inspiration especially for people who are just looking to learn this. If more people learned this technology. And eliminated fossil fuel plastic toys we would all be better off.

They're fantastic

Thank youuu. I am heavily ENTERTAINED. 😊😊😊

Super - thanks for posting!

Great video quality. Thanks for sharing this.

simple and awesome art

Love the automatons!

Muito Bom.

Could be an entry for dinner for smuchs .Great work

How the hell did I end up here? This is awesome!

Amazing....

@stuartblink THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!! I really appreciate it!! :D I'll get started reading right away!

Nice video.... Tank you.. Full support for you

Love these inspirations ... any chance you have publish idea / plan books for some of these ... love to make some but drawings would get me started ... thanks so much from this 75-year old woodworker from way back. Bob Campbell

Thanks for posting this. Turns out I could have seen it but didn't know it was being held so your video is really appreciated.

That it is all electrical is amazing.

bello,bello,bello, I like all the mechanisms, never mind for the music, important is the ideas.

New game show: you cant leave the bathtub til youve eaten all its contents.

@vampirechick233 The track is called "Scheming Weasel faster" by Kevin Macleod.

Excelente obra, estructura, paciencia, visión, expectativa...uso de la inteligencia y mucha diversión, esto es lo que enseño en mi proyecto EDUCACIÓN por EMPRENDIMIENTO, activar nuestra creatividad y utilizar nuestra herramienta inteligencia... formará niños y adolescentes curiosos, diestros, decididos, seguros y BRILLANTES. I admire these artists!!

Thanks so much for putting this up. I loved the exhibition when it was in Glasgow now I can show my friends who missed it. Im surprised kinetic art models arent more popular, though I dont know how much effort it takes to make them :)

Love it

grandioso!

Awesome

Sono davvero belli 👍

I wish I could make stuff like that

To bordercollie, i think you are thinking of frame animations, having progression with each different picture, like a flip book or pixel animating

fascinating

The music! 👍

@ominousfeeling23 - There are a few books worth seeking out. 1. Automata and Mechanical Toys by Rodney Peppe 2. Making Mad Toys & Mechanical Marvels by Rodney Frost 3. Cabaret Mechanical Movement: Understanding by Aidan Lawrence Onn. They will give you a good start.

Very very facetious and funny Thank you

@ahmadsufian123 - The tomato water is a rotating rod within the tap

The fish are my favorite

what is the piece at 8.00 called? brilliant video thanks!

Wow wow wow this is amazing to see all these so great to watch sub you another like

Ill politely explain. Demolition City is a game on Armor Games. They use the same music at 2:30 that they do in the game.

Fantastic contemporary automata, thank you. But if the music was intended to be Brechtian Cabaret, it missed the mark, it was ghastly.

すごい！これは驚きましたｗ

Muy bueno 5 estrellas

@jhernandez125 - Sorry you don't like the music. I think it works well with the wierdness of the automata. Thanks for watching

I know I'll regret saying this but automata is the plural, automaton the sungular.

stuartblink. I like the video and I think you did a good job on the music but what is the song playing at 2:35?

Where do you go to to learn about how to build automata?

Nice

Oh it's interesting

what is the song playing at 3:50?

Tunes are very disturbing but couldn't match better the video. I like specially the one that starts on 3:47.

good song selection!

Also, who is the artist for the jungle scene at 0:33 to 0:43? Thanks!

Mil pra ti 👏

Umm...can someone please tell me what is going on at 7:42????

wooooonderful.. amaaaaaaazing..... and now we know what happens when carpenters take lsd

What music is used in the second part, 2.30min.

Vivo en Tlaxcala.Mexico felicidades bonito diseños .me podrías mandar como hacer mecanismos de autómata sencillos

is this the music from little big planet ?

So wonderful! If like for me, the music is...somehow...I'll say, "not pleasant" try boosting the speed to 1.25. It made an immense improvement for me. (Fun, presumably as intended, not...making me want to run screaming through the hallway.)

"An Allegory of Love" .. Well.. not wrong there.. XD

Гениально

Scheming Weasel Faster by Kevin Macleod

Is this a permanent exhibition? I am designing my own automaton for uni and it would be good to visit if it was still there. Video on my profile.

gostei!

How do people build these

Not homework but piano practice.

its every day bro

@mooseface97 The Music is by Kevin Mcleod. There are four seperate tracks. The titles are listed at the end of the video.

how did he made the tomato water?

Paul Spooner

7:23 Does Matt Smith frolic in gay abandon, too?

What is the name of 3:12 ish?

hoaoooo no se ni como lo hacen que imaginacion

what is the song called at 3:30

Why would Anubis be angry?

Dağ keçisi yapar mısınız? Şimdiden teşekkürler , Türkiye'den selamlarımı iletiyorum.Leyla teyze seni seviyoruz

Gostei

Where is that

8:23 me during a test

😂 spaghetti is from the scene in Gummo

Did anyone else notice the automaton at 8:37 was being turned the wrong way from the lable?

a mechanical flip book? There's a video of a woody woodpecker one on here

2:24 I swear to God I heard this song before

Who's the artist at 1:55 ?

Gotta say, some of these are rather disturbing in nature.

Sorry Admiralshadaw, I don't understand the Demolition City reference.

Around 2:30 anyone else have a demolition city moment?

Имеет право на жизнь ,как искусство ,почему нет

Speghetti in bathtub Omg.

6:43

I want to live like spaghetti

mah nem is jeeeeeeffffffffffff
