Partial transcription of the video
“In this class. i want to start by talking about what we'll do in this course. Here we will build an automaton. a machine that operates through a mechanical set. So. for this construction. we're going to dive a bit into the mechanics world. To begin. i want to introduce some mechanisms that will lay the groundwork for our final project. Mechanical principles have a long history. These principles are essential for understanding how machines operate. The lever is one of the oldest mechanisms. It's a simple bar that. when placed on a fulcrum. can effort into movement efficiently. A significant ...”

A course by Eduardo Salzane
Graduated in social communication from Unesp, artist Eduardo Salzane has already worked with authorial photography, puppet theater and some circus modalities before specializing in the universe of automatons — sculptures that move from a crank.
He has given workshops at different institutions throughout Brazil and his works have been exhibited in several galleries in the interior of São Paulo and at the Ecomuseum of Itaipu, in Foz do Iguaçu. Currently, he develops his work with reused wood and creates a universe of poetry in motion in each of his pieces.
