Christopher Conte has created some wild pieces of art. I think the Robotic Needle Injection Machine is my favorite though. This would be great blown nice and big and hung in the lobby of my doctors office! What is your favorite? After earning a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art (BFA) from Pratt Institute, he entered the prosthetics field and began making artificial limbs for amputees in New York. Along with a combined love for sculpture, medical-science, and biomechanics, the field enabled Chris to apply his natural talents to help others in less fortunate situations, which he still does to this day.”

I actually get a little sick feeling in my stomach every time I see non-functioning ‘robot art’. I’m guessing that injection thing is non-working since I don’t see a single motor anywhere. If it works, awesome, my bad.

All the art looks pretty hot. The needle bot is a little disturbing but eh, its art.

Thats got to be some of the coolest art ive ever seen, I wouldnt mind owning one of the Biomechanical Arms or one of the needle bots. My wife would absolutely love these

Either the skull or the spider, I can’t decide. Are they functional?

the first one reminds me of the talon (http://www.foster-miller.com/lemming.htm) with the “water gun” bomb defusing attachment.

Looks like some kind of movie prop from a Saw spinoff where jigsaw goes super geek

Those are quite impressive. Bot popularity will certainly be on the rise this summer when Transformers is released in April.

I’d love to tear down a little kids RC car and make it into something like that

I get the impression that the solar & battery powered bugs are kinetic, if not all that functional. Whether or not the “attack helicopter” is a shining example of art is another story, but at least its function is pretty entertaining.
