Dear Liza,
Every time we go for a walk in Laurelhurst park, there is a surprise. Saturday evening, we found Selfie Bot!
Selfie Bot is the creation of artist Kelly Fry, a local artist who does animation, book illustration, and public art installations.
The way Selfie Bot works is…
You sit in the chair and Ben Denham, Selfie Bot’s assistant, rings some little bells to wake up the Bot inside (I’m guessing it is artist Kelly Fry).
Then you smile and wait a few minutes, and your portrait pops out the front of the Selfie Bot. C’est moi, non?
I wasn’t the first portrait of the evening, and I wasn’t going to be the last, either. After me, a lady and her family stopped by and had a lot of fun visiting with Selfie Bot. Art you can interact with is always fun!
Love,
Grandma Judy
