    Automata is self-automated machines which were invented in Western Europe in 18th century as toys, religious idols, or tools. Here, I introduce this Japanese Automata Artist Mr.Kazuaki Harada.

    Uber precise craftsmanship and all of his works are tremendously  witty.

    Air Sculpture

    Decoy

    Chopsticks (In Japanese expression, " you can laugh at rolling chopsticks" means when you are very young, everything makes you laugh.)

    Spoon in Space (Also in Japanese expression, "throwing spoons" means giving up or surrender.

     

    He consistently creates Automata with no consistent theme.

    オートマタというのを初めて耳にし、目にしました。もう一発でやられちゃいましたよー。videoを見てクスッと笑わされてしまいました。素敵素敵。こんなウィットに飛んだアイデアを思いつきそして形に出来るなんて素晴らしい。「一貫性のない作品を一貫して作り続ける」ってフレーズがまさにアーティスト!
