Ann Smith’s Recycled Robot Animals
Writing by Conner Flynn on Wednesday, 14 of November , 2007 at 12:49 am
Ann Smith takes recycling to the next level. She creates sculptures from tossed out gadgets and electronics parts, then she uses stop-motion photography to put them in motion. The sculptures have been sold in stores and galleries throughout the US and have been published as illustrations in several magazines and brochures.
She uses all manner of parts and gadgetry, but some parts she shies away from. Sewing machines, for instance stump her, with so many tiny parts and gears. Judging by her work, everything else is fair game. It all creates a kind of Clockwork meets Steampunk look. Seeing them in motion is a beautiful thing. If you want a real treat, you can currently see some of her work at the DeCordova Museum in Massachusetts as well as the Cog & Pearl boutique in Brooklyn.
Check out the links for some cool videos of the art in motion.

You mention links to view video clips of Ann Smith’s recycled Robot Art, but I don’t see any links? Can you let me know if I’m doing anything wrong?
