Bennet Robot Works by Josh Rubin
Meet Watts-- he's a 2 foot tall bucket of bolts made from old and new found parts. Watts can be found among many other robot sculptures at Bennett Robot Works. No, it's not yet another Social Networking site with a silly angle. It's the portfolio of Gordon Bennett, the artist inspired by Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy's visions of the Modern Age. Bennett creates these one-of-a-kind sculptures from parts found at the dump, on the street and among the seas of yard sales; so in addition to being cute, they're sustainable.

Niklas Roy: Dokumat 500
Niklas Roy is a German artist with engineering skills, a quirky sense of humor and an interest in robotics. Dokumat 500 is creation he completed last year—it's a fully automatic documentary robot. The camera is mounted on a tripod on powered wheels and has servo motors that control the pan and tilt of the camera. The 'brain' of the unit arbitrarily (algorithmically, actually) decides...

Giles Round at ICA
Native Londoner Giles Round creates sculptures and assemblages that resemble the confounding models of a minimalist stage set designer and his work is currently being shown at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts. Rectilinear frames evoke the woodwork of Donald Judd, twisting in space to create volumes into which he introduces monochromatic panels, lights and typographic studies. Like other minimalist artists before him, Round appropriates...

Kittiwat Unarrom: Bread Body Parts
Since 2006 Thai artist Kittiwat Unarrom (whose family also runs a bakery) has used dough as his medium to sculpt gruesome renditions of hand, feet, heads, torsos and other body parts. The results are unnervingly realistic with eyes, lips and other details constructed out of cashews, raisins and the like. A lack of hair and blood-like glazes make the work all the more creepy....

Lucas Isawa: Koinobori
By combining traditional Japanese Carp-shaped wind socks with paper lanterns, artist Lucas Isawa has turned his floating and illuminated school of fish into a breathtakingly peaceful spectacle. Building on koinobori (wind socks decorated with colorful Carp and flown in Japan on Children's Day), Isawa uses bamboo to first construct the skeleton shell of his highly-detailed fish and then fills in the gaps with silk...

David Ryan
I first fell for David Ryan's work after seeing a couple of small pieces in Mark Moore's booth at Scope New York last year. Now Ryan is back with a solo show in his signature style at Mark Moore Gallery in Santa Monica. (Click images for detail.) Ryan creates his very sculptural paintings by intricately stacking together brightly-painted pieces of MDF (medium-density fibreboard). I...

Camerautomata Charlie: Image Digesting Robotic Duck
by Scott J Lachut If documenting trips to faraway lands is beginning to take time away from actually enjoying them, then a robotic picture-taking duck may be just what you need. In an effort to "to liberate cameras from human operation," South Korean artist Taeyoon Choi created a traveling companion, "Camerautomata Charlie: Image Digesting Robotic Duck," that snaps photographs in response to other camera flashes...
