Animatronic Robot Dances To Blurred Lines!
Well, this is terrifying. Artist Jordan Wolfson has created a masked animatronic robot that makes eye contact with visitors while gyrating to a slowed-down version of "Blurred Lines." Created with help from a special effects studio in Los Angeles, Wolfson's animatronic robot is on display at the David Zwirner Gallery until April 19, after which the robot will be destroyed (not really, but one can dream).
"Presented here for the first time, Wolfson's animatronic sculpture combines film, installation, and performance in the figure of a curvaceous, scantily clad woman covered in dirt marks and wearing a witch mask," reads the David Zwirner Gallery website. "The woman can be encountered on a one-on-one basis in a mirrored room in the gallery, creating a different kind of viewing experience that intensifies the importance of the gaze found throughout Wolfson's work."
