Mario Calcedo's Columbian junkbots

Mario Caicedo makes some very gnarly jinkbot sculptures in his Bogotán workshop down in Columbia. For some reason, every time I watch Blade Runner, I always think of the vermin of J.F. Sebastian's Los Angelean apartment as being scurrying robotic creatures like this.

@ #4: Considering Columbia is in South Carolina and Colombia is in South America, I'd say it's a big deal. I know I wouldn't want directions to one when looking for the other...

Ahh, there's nothing quite like Anonymous accusations of Ameri-centrism aimed at someone living in Germany.

Oh, and not only living in Germany, but an Irish person living in Germany.
