Street Junk Sculpture by Frostbeard
January 15th, 2008 10:05 PM / Location: 42.342479,-71.14349Still, i was not to be deterred.
Upon the arrival of my friend, i immediately began dissecting the parts i had. After chopping up the keyboard, i "wired up" my future trash robot by inserting the cord into the lower back of the cone. Then i took my sf0 keys and attached them to the base of the robot. After screwing in the nose, i cut a glove in half and stuck the bottom (fingers end) of the glove to the spacebar to make the robot's weirdo mouth. The top of the glove got placed over the top of the cone, got held in place by the livestrong bracelet, and had the keyboard "I" key glued on for the eye. The damned antenna was a problem though.
Splitting what i thought was wood, i instantly spilled small shards of fiberglass all over my friend's carpet, the robot, and my hands. I managed to (with my friend's help) shake out the rug. I then cleaned off the robot, threw out the antenna, and started burning and itching like crazy. The feeling of porcupines engulfed in flames fornicating just below my skin would stay with me throughout the next task. My friend and i then set out to bury the robot.
Bunch O Junk
This is how you start a street trash sculpture. Get a bunch of street trash.
Gold Rush!
Too bad these tickets didn't win me a million dollars. I didn't even use them in the sculpture...however they did help me annotate the sculpture for the recipient.
Junk
More junk. Some of it from a previous picture. My girlfriend found this card for the Berkeley cafeteria in a postsecret book in a book store. Didn't use it for the sculpture.
Bigger stuff.
Look at how crappy this stuff is. What am i supposed to do with these materials?!
It's a cone.
And a keyboard. Sweet.
Tools.
The tools necessary to construct a street trash robot. A kabar knife and some rubber cement.
SF0!!!
Sweet! Represent!
Robot buttons
Push these buttons for adventure.
Eye
It has an I for an EYE. Yup. Also has this livestrong bracelet.
Antenna
When making an antenna for your trash robot, don't split a piece of fiberglass into pieces. Had to shake out the rug. Also felt like fiery porcupines were rolling around under my skin. Stupid fiberglass rod looking like wood.
Nose and mouth
Screwed this nose right in. Some sort of wheel or something. And of course this wacko spacebar with the cut up glove makes a nice sweet mouth with little beard/tendril things. Creepy.
Power supply
You gotta plug him in to get him to do anything. If you do so he sits there real good. Also some hooks on the back for hanging/awesome spiked decorations.
Trash Robot
Trashy the trash robot. Perhaps he can be the start of someone's minion army?

So, by finagling a bunch of weird tactics, i have managed to update this post to a somewhat better state. Sorry about that. Hopefully our good friends will fix my issue sooner rather than later so that i can task more effectively. If not, then...well...not. :)
If you do he sits there real good and the damn buttons!!!
Have been unable to get the description of this task to work. So, i guess this is what you get. I was in boston and waiting around for a friend to get back to his apartment. I collected all this junk and pulled it apart and pieced it together to make a trash robot. The antenna ended up being discarded due to the fiberglass nature of the inside of it, but not before i split it in half and proceeded to itch and burn for the rest of the night. This robot was then used in the The Things We Bury For Our Friends task. Will post that task and attempt to fix this task once i can figure out this whole posting problem.
