Think, Mr. Carswell (wherever you are), think, all or you: imagine the situation of your grader. (Unless, of course, he is of the Wheatstone Bridge-double differential CH3C6H2 (NO2)3 set. These people are mere cogs; automata; they simply feel to make sure you've punched the right holes. As they cannot think, they cannot be impressed; they are clods. The only way to beat their system is to cheat.) In the humanities and social sciences, it is well to remember, there is a man (occasionally a woman), a human type filling out your picture postcard. What does he want...

...ride by high-speed train from Berlin, the Phaeno has assembled 70 contemporary works that show the range of emotion and ingenuity of kinetic artists. They have at least one thing in common: "They're all completely obsessive," says Sarah Alexander of Cabaret Mechanical Theatre, a museum of automata that brings its showcase of 10 British artists, including Paul Spooner, to the Phaeno. The inspiration for Spooner's witty, handcranked wooden tableaux can be an artistic masterpiece - as in his saucy version of Manet's Olympia - or the odd mental image of a man eating the bathtub of spaghetti...
...Gone are the days when the inner workings of automata were hidden to preserve the magic; the cogs, cams, pulleys and levers at "Fantastical Mechanisms" are all part of the show. American artist Norman Tuck offers practical but surprising demonstrations of scientific principles. In Double Helix, for example, two motor-driven copper spirals twine gently within each other until the moment they touch and reverse the motor. The machines of Russian sculptor Eduard Bersudsky, by contrast, are better read as manifestations of the troubled artist's state of mind. Now living in Glasgow, where his works are shown...
