Robot sculptures by Gordon Bennette. They are in a store window on 5th Ave at 16th St. Totally worth checking out if you’re in the neighborhood.

When Jason and I finally decided to enter the ELE contest, we had about a week to do it. So the project was going to be a quick one and on the cheap. It turns out, I had just about everything I needed to make 3 robot heads in my apartment.

I put some time into two of the heads, the third one was basically just a white board, spray painted silver (not my best work).

The body was a wooden frame bolted to the back of an office chair. I sat backwards on the chair to operate the heads.

 

We even put a little site together for the good doctor.

Drawing Artistic Robot Two THousand.

My office had an art show, the theme was “Nerd” my entry was D.A.R.T.TH. Basically, a Silo cup with 3 Sharpies hot glued to it (it also has some sweet Darth Vader sound effects I ripped out of a magazine ad).

Everything that it draws looks like a gaint spirograph though.
