    I met him in London last year (with burning dan).
    In real life he and his models are FAR less impressive than they appear to be on this and other web videos. They’re badly made, badly designed, the best bit is the leg mechanism (which might not be his invention).

    Forget all the talk about “artificial life”
    There’s a fine line between madness and genius, and he is the wrong side of it!

    Heh, that’s interesting to hear Drew. I’d never heard of him till seeing the above video, part of which I believe is ripped from a car ad. Goes to show what a bit of slick filming can do I suppose.
