Mechanics Alive! Cabaret Mechanical Theatre Automata Exhibition

Automata exhibition called Mechanics Alive!!! organised by Cabaret Mechanical Theatre at the Scotland Street Museum in Glasgow. Kinetic art models by Paul Spooner, Keith Newstead, Ron Fuller, Peter Markey and Matt Smith. www.Cabaret.co.uk
I forgot to fully charge the camcorder, so the video is missing the final four pieces in the exhibition.

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

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

The music really added to this amazing little bit of greatness

[@bigbaby1345]

A little-known relic of KZbin history. Love it

[@marquamfurniture]

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

[@ellisburton8733]

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

[@nobleharvey9935]

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

[@faizalimuhammadzoda4731]

Thanks for putting this up. I have always liked watching automata, seeing how they actually move with all the gearing is pretty cool.

[@annecohen8927]

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

[@Televideography]

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

[@peoplemakenoise]

I love these! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@TraveisaBlue]

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.

[@chizobauchay2024]

They're fantastic

[@Triharyanto1968]

Thank youuu. I am heavily ENTERTAINED. 😊😊😊

[@stuartblink]

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.

[@anacondasquezze4948]

simple and awesome art

[@bowerfilms]

Super - thanks for posting!

[@BobSeal]

Great video quality. Thanks for sharing this.

[@jimhood1202]

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.

[@Janumangarcia]

Love the automatons!

[@aniljagtap6683]

Amazing....

[@elisabethpine3420]

That it is all electrical is amazing.

[@ECOARTESBRASIL]

Muito Bom.

[@ominousfeeling23]

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

[@robcrannel3661]

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

[@augustoduccio]

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

[@AlanAshton]

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

[@rickyjohn8584]

Could be an entry for dinner for smuchs .Great work

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

[@edstercw]

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 :)

[@stuartblink]

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

[@PIEDELANAGONZALEZ77]

grandioso!

[@jasonblevins5319]

Awesome

[@RifuSanders]

Love it

[@educacionporemprendimiento172]

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!!

[@DEDIE54]

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

[@cipofly]

Sono davvero belli 👍

[@katiestall2201]

The fish are my favorite

[@kirbybro4]

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

[@bobrenda1618]

The music! 👍

[@robbiewilliams2234]

I wish I could make stuff like that

[@tracyy6619]

fascinating

[@missinggamefiles]

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.

[@stuartblink]

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

[@stuartblink]

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

[@louiselawlor32]

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

[@568min]

Very very facetious and funny Thank you

[@RobPudWilliams]

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

[@wimnelniet2607]

Rob William

Sungular? isn't that singular?

[@thumbprint7150]

You probably have regretted it already as you wrote sungular… people in glass houses and all that - BUT all is not lost, there is an edit facility to your right for correcting errors of spelling or opinion... ooops, have I misspelt anything?

[@hohohohehehe6910]

I'd hate to say this but if you'd watched the video you would have seen there was more than just one. Plus, if you want to be pedantic, sungular isn't even a word.

[@stuartblink]

@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.

[@aniljagtap6683]

Thank you sir.

[@ElisorzaciDemon]

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?

[@itsjustme356]

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

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

[@patriciaandrade9443]

🤣🤣🤣

[@thumbprint7150]

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

[@shuheikaneko1542]

すごい！これは驚きましたｗ

[@ominousfeeling23]

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

[@chariswang4599]

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

[@user-rj9wp8vm1c]

6 акробатов на спине кота. И человек внизу, лижет грудь кота ))) Странно

[@thumbprint7150]

Looks like a contemporary interpretation of Tipu's Tiger with sexual or some sort of overtones or undertones...

[@Pocketraisins]

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

[@Aliridinbmx]

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.

[@zongyang779]

How do people build these

[@destinymnc]

what is the song playing at 3:50?

[@alirassi5697]

good song selection!

[@r.robertus2283]

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

[@mrkoshtip]

is this the music from little big planet ?

[@maunster3414]

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

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

[@ahmadsufian123]

how did he made the tomato water?

[@angstmonkey1]

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

[@stuartblink]

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

[@Elcapstok]

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

[@velcroman11]

Not homework but piano practice.

[@Motocicleiros]

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

[@echognomecal6742]

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.)

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

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

[@Mantramurtim]

I love the music! Artist?

[@stuartblink]

Mantramurtim it’s Creative Commons music by Kevin McLeod called Screaming Weasel Faster. It’s weird but I think it suits the models.
