Robochrist Industries Performs "STUNT" at Coachella 2005

Christian Ristow's Robochrist Industries executed its last robot performance at Coachella in 2005. The title of the performance was STUNT, which has at least three meanings in the context of this show. In 2005, Coachella forbade Robochrist Industries to use fire for some unknown reason. In response, we put together a show that was much more dangerous and ridiculous than if we HAD used fire, which included a live head-on-collision with two cars, and approximately 110 gallons of fake blood being pumped into the air. Hence the saying: "Blood is the new Fire!"
