Žicar, is a robot, a beggar that author uses to highlight the omnipresent poverty. He is built of computer parts, recycled from electronic waste landfills. The robot highlights environmental awareness for a world dominated by the ideology of endless / continuous development, while advocating the concepts of open source and do-it-yourself tactics. It enables people to make their own copy of a robot. Anyone wishing to obtain instructions for making their own replica of the robot can visit the artist’s website for instructions.
