love robot invasion IN TORONTO

FINALLY. 

Something cool in Toronto.

Reminiscent of the Moose project Toronto now has 

adorable Concrete Love Robots infesting.

Ever since I was a child I was told that 

everyone was out to get us

 Artist Matthew Del Degan is reminding us otherwise,

humans are not robots and are completely

capable of being WARM & LOVING.

 Mixing almost every robot himself.  The 25,000 pounds of cement

now resulted in the 100 cement statues plastered all over Toronto.

 Four-and-a-half years ago, 

Del Degan was sitting on a subway, chatting with strangers.

“There was a girl beside me and a grandmother in front of me, 

we were laughing and joking with a homeless guy,” 

he explained.

 “I was a student wearing pyjamas on my way to class.

 I bet people thought I was homeless too.”

Each robot is is tied to a STORY OF LOVE

submitted by Torontonians.

Most memorable he's heard so far?

A gentleman met a paraplegic who can’t use his hands. 

The paraplegic asked people to do his laundry 

but items started to go missing. 

So the gentleman took it upon himself to do the laundry 

for the paraplegic on a weekly basis.

“We don’t see these things in the city,” Del Degan stated. 

“With this project I want to prove that Toronto is a loving city.”
