The Underwire has a short feature of artist Michael Sullivan’s short film “The Sex Life of Robots”, which you can watch above. Sullivan’s original idea for the stopmotion film was a war movie featuring armies of battling robots, but then he came up with a better idea on what to do with his legion of robots: make love and not war. Thus “The Sex Life of Robots” came into non-stop robot sex life.
Sullivan has worked as an animator, prop fabricator and lighting designer for over twenty years. His work has been featured in the Tribeca Film Festival, “Transformers” the television show, Peter Gabriel’s “Big Time” video, a short animated EFX for “Star Trek V”, “The Big Bear in the Big Blue House” and “Joe’s Apartment.”
Clips of “The Sex Life of Robots” and an exhibition of some of Sullivan’s risqué robot sculptures are now on temporary display at Manhattan’s Museum of Sex.
