Creepy Singing Android Heads

These three animatronic heads are part of an art piece being sold at Art Basel Miami Beach 2009 for $75,000. The heads are connected to servos behind the mold of the artist's face that are controlled by a computer.

The movements and sound are on a 15 minute loop and both sing together and uncomfortably look around the room individually.



(thanks Cora)

More of a display on technology than..."art".

Yes, it's the age old question: but is it art?
