Brixton artist shows off robot pole-dancers at CES 2018

A troupe of automated exotic dancers provide a deliberately dystopian vision of future entertainment as they gyrate on stage at the Sapphire gentlemen’s club in Las Vegas for CES.

Designed by London artist Giles Walker, they are believed to be the world’s first robotic pole dancers.

The life-sized “entertainment machines” even accept tips.

Their heads are made from old CCTV cameras that Walker found in a disused East Ham warehouse.

Their bodies are comprised of mannequin, scrap metal and windscreen wiper parts — all programmed with different sequences to give a fluid motion.

He said the robo-dancers were initially created as a comment on Britain’s surveillance society.

Walker, 50, from Brixton, said: “I wanted to do something about voyeurism and questions of power, how everyone is being watched.”
