A solar powered and time-based drawing instrument; a remote controlled mutant power tool that paints; a theoretical communication device; three automatons powered by vintage gramophone motors, and eight custom built autonomous robots.

Dream Machines brings together five artists and collaboratives who are simultaneously artist, scientist, engineer and inventor. At the core of this project are ideas centred on DIY aesthetics, backyard inventors and the suburban shed, the adaptation of existing and utilitarian objects, the machine aesthetic, hacking and re-purposing, and how creativity is integral to innovation.
