# Apocalyptic Robots Tyler Jackson's BLANKS Robots are Reclaimed Wooden Wonders By Allison Love | Published 2010-07-07 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blanks-robots References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/32274/) & [randommization](http://randommization.com/2010/07/06/blanks-post-apocalyptic-robot-exoskeletons-made-of-reclaimed-wood/) Tyler Jackson's BLANKS robots are apocalyptic works of art, setting the stage for the post-end-of-world societies. The robots are all created from [reclaimed and recycled wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity), making these wonderful works eco-fierce. According to their artist, these BLANKS robots are actually designed to "provide protection to its users against [poisonous gases, viruses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-perfect) and scavengers." The BLANKS robots do look like they could pack a punch or two, but I'm more concerned about what Tyler Jackson thinks of the world, post-apocalypse. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Apocalyptic Art:** Exploring the post-end-of-world aesthetic through art and design. - **Eco-friendly Creativity:** Utilizing reclaimed and recycled materials in innovative ways. - **Protective Robotics:** Designing robots with the purpose of safeguarding against dangers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Opportunities for artists to create unique and thought-provoking works inspired by apocalyptic themes. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** Potential for industries to develop eco-friendly production processes using reclaimed and recycled materials. - **Safety and Security:** Disruptive innovation possibilities in creating protective robots for various hazardous environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Human-Made Lamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-am-not-a-robot-lamp-collection.md) - [Whimsical Sculptural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-block-series.md) - [Creature-Like Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pink-robots-won.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Sculpturally Formed Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-zombie.md) - [Creativity-Supporting Art Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blank-app.md)
