5.-TINKERING WITH AUTOMATA: THE ENSEMBLE WORKSHOP

The Ensemble Workshop is a collaborative artwork that is part workshop, part performance and part exhibit, an attention-grabbing centerpiece display that offers participants the opportunity to exercise their making and creative skills, and learn mechanical movement and control.

Make an individual cam driven automata from push-fit components and a junk box of curious and striking objects. The automata are linked together to create a single machine, an impressive snaking line of spinning cams, colors and shapes turned by a single handle or motor.
