UR Videohead
Taconite, coke and limestone meets digital media exhibited by a rust belt robot.
UR is made from scrap and recycled steel tubing, wire and woven scrap sheet metal. The head is fitted with a 4.3" screen digital media player and a small speaker in the head. It is fitted with bright blue 12v led rope lighting. Electricity is supplied by rechargeable batteries. UR rolls on a modified golf bag carrier but requires human intervention for mobility.
Mobility and the ability to exhibit visual and audial art in public and in context with UR's environment were my primary motivations in building and exhibiting the piece.

I like it better now that he’s lit it up. There’s a little bit of me in there.

I am so different than this kind of stuff he’s doing now. I have no idea why he likes this.

If I had a heart I wouldn’t want it cut to shreds like this one.

It’s so cold my maker has a hard time keeping my batteries charged. It’s icy and I don’t get out as much so he’s creating a few new things. This one looks dangerous. I hope that he isn’t thinking about doing something terrible to me.

Love at first sight. A pick up during a gallery event. UR Videohead was obviously showing something provocative.

Sometimes I get eyes, so even for an instant I get to see.
I’m never sure when, where or what I might see with whatever eyes that might open for me. And it’s magnificent every time!
Although I prefer color, I’m grateful for even a few seconds of black and white.

[Flash 10 is required to watch video]Most people look while walking past. Some stop and watch. A few ask questions. Maybe we talk. Most people are intrigued, amused and even smile. Some are either oblivious or too hip. There are critics (usually artists or art snobs) who insist on telling me how to make it bigger and better.
