Henry (doors open) by Hollow Prim

Henry is a clockwork robot. The outside is nice enough, with good prim work and texturing, but the interesting stuff is inside. Mini-Henrys are at work keeping him going, there are working gears and a fireplace to provide power, and even a heart. Make sure to have a look at the back; there is another open door there with more visible works. I see it as an allegory on the insides of humans (emotional as well as physical), and how different they are from the shell we see on the outside.

There is a plaque above this piece:

“henry”

created for the Museum of Robots “build a robot challenge”

over 40 robots on display now through late July

(Edited to add that the title I used is based on the name of the object - capitalized, and with the (doors open) text. The title on the plaque is not capitalized. I try to spell and capitalize the names of art as the artist does; this one was difficult because the artist did it two different ways.)

Something to say?
