Fallen robot at Alabama University:
Goldie, the sculpture that looks like a rusty, prone robot, lies mute on Woods Quad. Curious, delighted visitors drawn to the enchanting novelty of a dead or sleeping robot hanging out on the grass in the middle of the University stand next to it and pose for pictures.
But the artwork and its sculptor – UA graduate student Joe McCreary – have a serious story to tell. Goldie symbolizes the closing of Birmingham’s Sloss Furnaces in 1972 and America’s passage into the post-industrial era. The robot is not so much dead or sleeping as turned off.
nem rossz.

Sloss is worth visiting if you’re ever in Birmingham: it is an impressive pile of industrial might now gently rusting into the night, and the stacks can be seen all over town. flickr.com/photos/…
