Music Video: Cloud Nothing "Hey Cool Kid'

Cloud Nothings - Hey Cool Kid from Allen Cordell on Vimeo.

The video shows the story of a nerd who makes a remote controlled basketball-playing robot out of a homeless man. Need I say more.

Robots you can sleep on.

Mr. Small and Mr. Large Robot pillows are made of 100% organic cotton
and are the perfect plane companion for those long flights. Available here.

EXPLOSION!

Adam Voorhes is an Austin, Texas-based photographer who has dissected and dismantled four objects in his series, Exploded. A telephone, gun, etch-a-sketch and frog are included in his work. I want one done of me. Do you think I'm filled with organs or robotic parts? DON'T RUIN THE SURPRISE!

Styrobots ATTACK!

Artist Michael A. Salter is an associate professor of digital arts at the University of Oregon who, in his downtime, builds massive robots out of recycled “polystyrene”–a Styrofoam commonly used for shipping electronics.

Salter’s ‘Styrobots’ range from 2.5-feet (the little guy above) to 15-feet (the big guy above) to his largest creation, a 21-foot-fall behemoth who lives at San Jose University.

The ‘Styrobots’ are currently on display at an exhibit called, “Robots: A Cultural Icon in Contemporary Art” at Wichita State University’s ‘Ulrich Museum of Art.’ The exhibit runs through December 18, 2009.

Check out a video showing how these guys are built.
