The MAD Museum has interactive pieces of mechanical art, in particular; kinetic art and automata. If you’re not quite sure what mechanical art is all about, think of the machines and gizmos used in Wallace and Gromit, Scrapheap Challenge and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. In a nutshell, mechanical art is usually beautifully crafted, moving sculptures either made to have an exaggerated purpose or made simply for the fun of it.
This is a ground check, and meeting for anybody who will be helping at the show to get to know what will be needed.
