Robots>>>> is an artist collective based in London. Building large site specific sculptures made from recycled and reclaimed wood. We began to work together in the summer of 2009. The core team consists of 6 full time artists and then a peripheral team of up to ten sculptors, artists, set builders and art directors.
As an art collective we have worked consistently over the past three years on public and private commissions as well as self funded projects and gallery shows, in London, Belfast, Barcelona, Iceland, New York, Quito as well as various sites around the UK. In addition to public art our work has been featured in music promos, galleries and festivals.We are heavily influenced by natural sciences, comics, street art, computer sciences, science fiction and the contents of skips.
We work predominantly with reclaimed and recycled wood, old furniture and objects that have been disregarded by others, working on the premise that one man's rubbish is another man's treasure. The aesthetic of our sculptures are heavily determined by the resources available and our material choices are completely sustainable in a time when resources and finances need to be considered. The sculptures also inform and teach about recycling of materials. All sculptures are site specific, whether this be in the middle of a field or hanging from the side of a building. Each piece is considered and designed to interact and complement its environment. We strive to make our sculptures interactive to their audience promoting appreciation through a number of different ways. Whether it be through, light, sound or actual physical interaction making the final sculptures thought provoking and unique.
Our work has received a large amount of interest from the press and we have been widely circulated on art blogs and online magazines as well as in the printed press, namely The New York Times and various art publications.
We are currently exhibiting a large peice on the Haywardgallery in London.
