Great film. Although I wanted it to explore earlier in to the history of clockwork technologies.<br>I had questions about where would it have originated from? And, how did the original engineers/designers pair the math, the metal working and the resources needed to make such things? <br>Like.... what materials would they have had to make the first prototypes out of, Wood? <br><br>My mind is completely blown when I think of where and how this kind of tech links to ancient history. <br>Make another film about that, you need to do a prequel 🤣

I loved this fascinating documentary! I'm absolutely blown away to learn just how influential the concept of automata was. Incredible artwork and dedication in these beautiful devices

Thanks 🙏 automata have been my favorite things since I was a child. Back in the 60s I got some really cool toys that were really automata that work on clockwork.

would the turkish chessplayer still be able to keep up with a digitally programmed one? I don't know enough about chess, but damn I'd watch that match
