Brooklyn-based artist, Peter Kokis, makes robots out of 100% recycled materials – in most cases salvaged from the trash. These 170-pound costumes are often inspired by Transformers characters, but one piece from “The Terminator” took him about 30 hours of direct construction, and the entire robot took about 500 hours!
“I look at the shape of objects and see their potential to portray something,” he said. “Virtually everything can be changed to suit my needs: re-shaped, cut-down, painted…altered in my ‘foundry’, to be seen as something else.”
