Local artisan workshop Lavorazione Artistica Metallo opened up during the Milan design week, and proved to be a very refreshing visit after seeing hundreds of chairs and tables. Their influences range from 1960’s robots and fantasy like coffee pots. The horse seems to be everyone’s favorite so far. www.traviganti.com
Inflatable Birds
Friday, May 11th, 2007
Amorphic Robot Works directed by the American artist Chico MacMurtie has built more than two-hundred of them in the past fifteen years. MacMurtrie discovered and is actually currently exploring the possibilities of lightweight synthetics, plastics, and injection moulded joints. The result is a series of extremely lightweight robots: Inflatable Bodies. They do not only refer to human and animal bones, but to muscles as well. MacMurtrie’s first series of sixteen robots bears the name Inflatable Birds. http://www.amorphicrobotworks.org/
