Freakazoid Robots

For a fashion show at the Naughty Santa's Black Market in 2002, I did a piece inspired by a Freq Nasty track that sampled "freakazoid robots, please report to the dancefloor." It started with grey, angular robots, reminiscent of drab office cubicles, walking to a track by Matmos that sounded like office equipment gone amok.

When the robots broke down, an orange jumpsuit-clad worker attempted to fix the robots, pulling open secret panels to reveal green satin motherboards with gold embroidery and colored plastic "wiring."

The robots gained control of the worker's remote control, switched the music to Freq Nasty, and proceeded to get freaky. As the robots ripped open the secret panel on the worker's jumpsuit, it became apparent that the worker was a robot too!

Here are some studio shots:
