Boxbots

The world is made of two kinds of stuff: 1) fun stuff, and 2) stuff that hasn't been made fun yet. Currently, you'll find the world filled with a lot more stuff of the number two kind.

It is my personal belief that the goal of a life-well-lived, or of any good game, is to turn the not-yet-fun into the undeniably fun. Which brings me to Boxbots - Jonathan Keller's collection of cardboard robots made out of, well, boxes. Boxes, you know, like cereal boxes and detergent boxes.

You might need to see the whole collection at once to get the needed perspective on this magnificent contribution to all funkind. Note how funny the robots look, and how many of them are smiling at you Almost too funny to be taken seriously enough to be considered art. Which is the whole other point. About what we consider art. About the art of transforming the undeniably fun into the significantly serious.
