Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama has always had verging on freakish
admiration of the voluptuous and anatomically gifted subjects of the
American pin up art used in film and advertising. The very style that
inspired him, he took to new levels with exquisite detail using paint
and airbrush in a style that oozes 70s and...well a lot of
metal. His lady Frankenstein was the Gynoid - a highly
sexualised robotic figure, that he developed in the late 70s which,
although kind of weird when you think about it, are completely awesome
on so many levels. Pretty much the hottest robots I've ever seen anyway.
In the late 90s Sony too saw his gift for mechanical vision and asked him
to design them an organic robotic form. What came from that was the
famous AIBO dog which is now featured in the Museum of Modern Art and the Smithsonian Institute of Technology.
