Alien Sculpture from 1,200 Pounds of Motorcycle Steel



As an artist who likes to work with found objects for my own assemblages, the artwork from Robosteel out of their Dublin, Ireland art studio appeals to me on many levels. The fact that it is recycled is very positive, but I am sure that as a former motorcyclist it must also have made this have special appeal for me. I am also a sci-fi geek, so the subject of this work, the alien queen from possibly one of the greatest of all sci-fi horror movies, Alien, no doubt also drew me in. According to neatorama.com's blurb about the artists, they were inspired by Picasso's sculptures of found objects.

Full Article at Scientific American

I always appreciate "Scientific American's" angle on popular topics. This article examines how the medals for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver were made out of recycled electronics waste. No doubt, that's an achievement that should win the 'green' medal in the environmental olympics.
