It's been almost two years since Psychedelic Robot unleashed an artistic collaboration on Dallas and this time, they've summoned the robot for an ambitious project in The Shops at Willow Bend.
The entrance to the new Psychedelic Robot exhibition at The Shops at Willow Bend is guarded by a life size sculpture of the robot built by local sculptor Johnney Edwards.an artistic collaboration on DallasPsychedelic Robot's third art experience opened Thursday night in Plano and offers paintings in a number of different styles by eight different artists.
The experience, which runs until Sunday, Aug. 28, also includes two immersive art pieces that guests can walk through and with which they can interact, including a"worm hole" that transports them through time during one point in the story and an"epilogue room" where guests can create and control a starry night sky on a projected ceiling.
Meanwhile, the robot is being pursued by government agents who aren't sure about the hot pink being's motives for visiting Earth. The robot is also being chased by an evil overland named Dravena who discovers Earth while pursuing the robot and sees it as a place that's ripe for conquest. "We really hand-selected our artists this time," Karen Bivins says."We had hundreds and hundreds of submissions to be involved and we chose a very small group who we felt contributed most to the vision of this. We wanted to get street artists to depict the vision in different ways and depict characters in their own style. It's the same characters but each are done in a unique style.
