At the foundry in Brooklyn RobotWorks, Cosplayer &
Performance Artist Peter Kokis manipulates plastic from
trash cans, buckets, food & cleaning product containers; and
uses ordinary & common household & hardware items - the same
things you'll find in your kitchen, bathroom, closets and junk drawers -
to create your favorite robot characters, then performs...
and becomes them. This performing is known as 'Cosplay'.
