# Upcycled Illuminated Robot Sculptures The Viva la Robolucion Series Includes Upcycled Robots By Elena Rahman | Published 2021-08-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viva-la-robolucion References: [brauer.fr](http://www.brauer.fr/) Viva la Robolucion is a series of illuminating robots by +Brauer. The artist carefully chose [vintage objects to upcycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures) for his robot series. +Brauer regularly exhibits in Paris and major cities around the world such as Amsterdam, Dubai, Geneva, Hong Kong, and Madrid. This robotic series makes a statement of poetic resistance to mass consumption. The [industrial pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wa-lamp) used to sculpt the illuminating robots portray the beauty of the materials. The pieces are sculpted with incorporated light sourced to create a unique visual experience for viewers. Featuring classic robot silhouettes, the light-up figures highlight how old material can be given a new life rather than rotting in landfills. Each robot in the series tells its own personal story through the pieces it bears.
