February Half Term at The MAD Museum
Saturday 13th – Monday 22nd February 2016
The Brief
Using inspiration from around The MAD Museum, we want you to design your very own piece of automata.
For those who aren’t sure, automata is a (typically wooden) sculpture which moves in a clever or funny way. Here are some examples:
As long as it has an element of movement, you can design whatever you like. Whether it be a quirky character, animated creature, interesting scene or geometric pattern- the possibilities are endless.
What You Win
Picked by one of our resident automata artists and MAD’s Technical Manager, the winning design will be brought to life and made into a fully-functioning sculpture by our technicians.
It will then be exhibited at the museum for everyone to see and interact with. Not only that but the winner will also get a goodie bag full of MAD treats.
After being exhibited at The MAD Museum, the winning piece will be returned to its designer to be taken home.
