ARTWORK: TV GUY

This is ONE OF A KIND

ARTIST: OLOBOTOYS (ARGENTINA)

TV GUY : Is a mass produced robot that was built to manipulate society, it is state property. No one controls him, he has the shows schedule dictated by law. It can be on for a lot of hours and could last almost for ever.

DESCRIPTION: This piece OF ART was modeled cast and finished in Santiago de Compostela to be part of this show as a unique piece. It was made in resin with a one time plaster mold so there will be no copies. I create a tv robot vintage like that remind us our childhood memories of spending time in front of the tv. Same tv that has changed a lot in the last 20 years but still hypnotize us with its content.

The attitude with the arms crossed and the remote control in his hand show his power and who is in charge.
