For centuries, humans have been fantasizing about artificial automatons. Renaissance artists like Da Vinci came up with concepts of androids, and writers of the 19th century provided us with the figure of Frankenstein's monster. In the previous hundred years, when humans began to discover new technologies and explore space, fantasy turned into reality. Hajime Sorayama is a Japanese artist who combines the concept of robots with the images of pin-up girls to create his own world of erotic retro-futurism. Previous year, Marijn already wrote an amusing article about Sorayama’s kinbaku Pin-Ups. This time, we’ll focus on his futuristic sexy dolls.
