BoxBots: High-Tech Folk Art

We love the high-tech folk art here at the Labs — it is “street tech,” after all. And, we love the robots made from junk. These two interests get all origami on us in BoxBots, a wacky menagerie of cardboard robot models crafted by artist Jonathan Keller while he was bored and living in Antarctica.

Other people have gotten in on the act and started submitting their own BoxBots to the site. I love the idea of re-visioning trash, squinting to see if there’s a robot lurking in there. You’ll never look at your garbage the same way: “C3PO, is that you?”
