NTUART

Nottingham Trent University Fine Art Degree Show 2008




Robot King

My submission at the degree show was a man sized, aluminium, freestanding, puppet built to resemble various robots from film and TV. Elements such as colours, shapes and styles where borrowed from robots such as: Transformers, Maria from Fritz Lang's Metropolis and the Power-Loader from Aliens (used to kill the alien Queen)


'Robot King' was also used in a series of short videos (three of which were shown alongside the sculpture). 14 positionable armatures in Robot King's joints allow versitile animation posibilities including a fight scene in a real life boxing ring.
