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.
Cadet i-Cybie: France Cadet
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.
Cadet Trophies: France Cadet
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:

you should try to use a real animal head
I think this is great, hopefully this will deter hunters from hunting. It sounds weird i know
Where can I get the blocks?
I agree, this is a evden eve nakliyat very cool experiment. As to how long evden eve the acrylic can hold the image, permanently. If you mean nakliyat how long the lightening flashes, I would imagine until the block is grounded, the flashes would persist.
I would imagine evden eve nakliyat that on could generate a fair amount su deposu of income selling these su deposu Lichtenberg figures.

there are many nakliyat lichtenberg figures estetik on the ice near my ankara nakliyat home and they are not drain holes. They are merely the first places that the sun melts the ice,
evden eve usually caused by something evden eve nakliyat dark at the center which heats up and starts the melting. I have 40mg of pix if pop sci is interested.
