"This eclectic exhibition is expansive, showcasing over seventy artists, each exploring the wide spectrum of what a robot represents. From a fun and playful visually pop approach to more analytic and somber notions, the artists’ work ranges from painting, sculpture, and ‘bootleg’ toys.” says Todd. “Some conjure a nostalgic connection to these objects, bringing us back to the toys that primed our imaginations. Others show us what the future may hold."
