What do you get when you cross stitch taxidermy with the mug of a “dead” robot? Well, if you’re the artist/robot teacher France Cadet, you get a wall full of interactive robo-trophies programmed to react to their environment.

Officially dubbed, “hunting trophies” by Ms. Cadet, these taxi-droids literally leap off the wall. Bristling with sensors, motors, speakers, and obligatory LEDs, each “head” is individually programmed to respond to passerbys with a chain reaction of growls and yelps, hitting viewers with a parting shot of guilt. Who among us is insensitive enough not to pity the whimpers of a disembowled i-Cybie head mounted to a board?
Poor little fella.

Actually, Ms. Cadet’s installation features the noggins of 11 different dead i-Cybie fellas. Adding further insult to their lobotomized injury, each of these PETA pets’ heads has been outfitted with antlers, horns, fur, and/or spots for mimicking an animal that is frequently mounted as a trophy. The horror!
Can a Robosapien morgue be far behind?
Here's a video of Cadet's trophies in action:
Will the U.S. Government phase out the penny by 2009 in order to conserve metal resources?
Will the Rocket Racing League hold its first race before the end of 2008?
Will Blockbuster buy Circuit City by the end of summer?
