Bernie The Robot
Doug Boyd (March 2019)
Fabricated by artist Doug Boyd, “Bernie the Robot” was installed on the southwest corner of First Avenue and Monroe Street in March of 2019. It took roughly a month and a half to build, about two weeks to powder coat and four hours to install.
Wonder what the robot is reading? There’s actually a story inside the book, hand-written by Doug Boyd himself. Here’s an excerpt:
