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.”
