John Wells repairs perfectly good television sets – taking the working innards of modern TVs and putting them inside fabulous cases of his own design. These whimsical, one-of-a-kind objets d'art grace commercials and promo spots for such companies as MTV, MSNBC, and Time Warner Cable. This robot TV, a remote-controlled, 3-foot-tall, six-legged walking insect, he made "for fun."
Wells exhibits all the signs of a hopelessly addicted photon mainliner: His studio boasts dozens of TVs, a zillion-channel satellite dish, and an 8-foot projection screen. "But I really don't watch that much TV," he claims.
Liar.
