Happy Friendly Robot Heads Will Keep You Company For $75k

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 4 of December , 2009 at 3:25 am

What we know: Designed by Nathaniel Mellor, these robotic heads (which look like the artist himself) can be yours for $75,000. It’s part of an installation piece called “Giantbum.”

What we don’t know: Why? Why??? WHYYY?????

$75,000?! I’d be amazed if anyone purchased this “art” installation for that price. Amazed, and also disappointed in humanity.
