22 Foot Tall Polystyrene Giant Robot Sculpture

July 3rd, 2008 by Conner Flynn

Assembled from wasteNot only will robots kill us, but the polystyrene ones parade around killing the environment too. Now that’s badass. The maker f this 22 foot monstrosity is Michael Salter, a pack rat. Instead of letting all that clutter go to waste though, he put it to good use making robot sculptures.

It needs it’s own wooden, skeletal armature to keep it standing and moving vans to transport it. The smaller Styrobots at its feet keep people away so they won’t knock it down. He spent an entire winter cutting the pieces into shapes that were glued together. Why does he do it? His pieces are a comment on society’s mechanical made-for-waste industry.
