Ancient mechanical robots or automatons are simply awesome. Their creators are real geniuses. Some of them are even programmable. Even with our current ultra-fine motors and actuators, it won't be so easy to repeat that feat by one man, not to mention aesthetics.

[@krampus225]

My head still hurts from all the sumptuousness. I am amazed when I see this kind of thing. I always think of the past as 24/7 days of hard labor to exist. Catching, killing, processing, eating, and doing it all over again every day.. boggles the mind. In the modern era, supposedly that's all done for us now so we should theoretically have more leisure time. It should be *our* generation creating masterful works of art. What we have instead is people working 2 and 3 jobs and exhausting themselves in the daily grind. No time for a home cooked meal, reading, enjoying a family gathering, learning a new instrument, painting, working on a hobby. When's the last time you made something with your hands?? Didn't necessarily intend to get political, but believers in Milton Friedman style economics is what got us to this point. Otherwise known as trickle down or voodoo economics. It's killing us. And it's past time for change. In a word: VOTE.

[@recoveringsoul755]

vote won't change it.. These days, being an artist is considered undesirable. They don't want us to CREATE, even though that is what we were designed to do

[@krampus225]

@@recoveringsoul755 Those are two different things. You can create art AND vote. No excuses.

[@MrBowbalitic]

The only reason this type of art was ever possible is because the billionaires had enough money to try and one up each other funding these. Producing artwork like this is what it took to be middle class. Most of the population was lucky to eat twice a day.

[@Ciara1594]

In the olden days artists had wealthy patrons who paid the artists to create amazing works of Art. That way the artists didn't have to worry about supporting their families or acquiring the materials and tools they needed for their work.

@@medicinaytalojacs658 There isn't even that much automation. A lot, but not as much as people imagine. Most machines are manual power tools.

[@mirkopolyak3592]

Clorox Bleach I believe you have it backwards. There is MORE automation than people realize. If you really want to, you can buy automated vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers. Mail is sorted, chain is manufactured, cars and microcircuits are assembled automatically these days. It wasn’t very long ago that we needed an operator to run an elevator - now, you just tell it where you want to go and it automatically closes the door, takes you up or down, and then opens the door again. One man used to have to work very hard to manage a 40 acre farm. Modern machinery automates so much of that labor now that that the average farm in the us is 15 times larger and produces 100 times as much product. Laboratories have automated systems which precisely measure, mix, and dispense chemicals over and over again, thousands of times a day. Airplanes are now routinely flown by autopilot. The list where it is already happening just goes on and on. And more is already in the works. I expect to see the day when long haul truck driving is done entirely by machine. Amazon and FedEx already have automated warehouse-to-door deliver systems in development. Self driving cars are just a generation away. Automation is quickly becoming ubiquitous.

[@artdonovandesign]

They did it with education, mastery of maths, advanced mechanical engineering, well made and very accurate hand tools, simple drafting tools like compasses, protractors and dividers and above all- artistic mastery. The era was FAR more advanced in engineering, Natural Philosophy (later called "science") than the media portrays. Please read about Gottfried Leibniz, Denis Papan, Rudolph Clausius, Nicola Leonard Sadi Carnot and James Clerk Maxwell just for starters.

How come she has nails painted red? I didn’t think that was the look in the 18th century?? These automata are wonderful, but also slightly creepy, because they imitate life, although they aren’t alive. The HC Andersen story “The Nightingale” satirises the vogue for mechanical birdsong. The story about Marie Antoinette is rather ominous, and it’s sobering to think what happened to the owners of these luxurious objects when the French Revolution erupted.
