The Sex Life of Robots

September 25th 2007 22:15
Update (5/10): YouTube pulled the Sex Life of Robots trailer, but those plucky varmints at Wired managed to convince the creator of the film to show the trailer on their site. Watch it now!

The Sex Life of Robots Trailer

Filmmaker Robert Michael Sullivan created an animated film called The Sex Life of Robots, which is, as you might think, nonstop robot sex.

How do robots have sex?

Unsurprisingly, the same way we do. After all, if we built robots, we'd be likely to mold them in our own image, which includes the genitals.

Personally, I'm in favour of making robots look unlike humans, thus avoiding the Uncanny Valley.

Sullivan's movie has a trailer on YouTube, and though some might find it repulsive and perverse, I find it quite beautiful, actually. Fantastic colours, warm-rust and hot metal. The sounds and the animation match the subject matter wonderfully and the sex has been turned into a kind of factory process. Wonderful!

This trailer is definitely NSFW, so don't watch it if you're easily offended or in a sensitive location!

Watch the trailer!




Wired has a slideshow of images from the movie.

that's a shame... I can't find a replacement, only this link to when it's showing at the Museum of Sex

It's no good saying this now, but it was really good... I love the steampunk style of it all...

It's not Robert Sullivan, it's MICHAEL SULLIVAN.
