The Los Angeles Automaton Arts Society (LAAAS) is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to increasing knowledge and awareness of automata and related arts. Related arts include kinetic sculpture, puppetry, and stop motion animation. We intend to educate by arranging public exhibitions of historical and contemporary examples, film viewings, lectures, workshops, publications, and other activities in and around Los Angeles. Our goal is to generate continued interest through interactive and innovative programs designed to link past, present and future generations of those who want to learn.
