Sexy Robots

Sorayama created his first robot illustration in 1978. It was a robot sitting on a rock. Along with a surfing robot, it  became a major turning point for Sorayama and this idea stream would soon gain momentum in designs around the world.

The term "Sexy Robot" describes the female robot forms covered with silver metal which Sorayama first created in 1979. Sorayama’s initial idea was to combine robots with eroticism. His first book "Sexy Robot" was published by Genko-sha in 1983. From then on, Sorayama’s robotic forms became increasingly famous worldwide.

Ultimately, science and the corporate world took hold of Sorayama's designs. AIBO the robotic dog by Sony/Sorayama is men’s first serious attempt to create an artificially intelligent robotic creature for the home. MOMA, the Smithsonian Institute of Technology and an ever increasing number of fans have lauded Sorayama's vision of the robotic organic form.

Gynoids

The term "Gynoids" was created by the female British SF writer, Gwyneth Jones, and developed by another British SF writer, Richard Calder who lives in Thailand. The word is derived from "Android" which denotes a cyborg with male attributes. "Gynoids" expresses the image of the female cyborg which Sorayama had long sought in that it tactfully combines both the human and the mechanical. The female image of a cold metal body and flesh-colored skin is created from the contrast of inorganic and organic substance. This unique tension along with an emphasis on the metallic form allows glamorous body lines and cool, sexy expressions.
