A Royal robot: Animatronic head of Queen Elizabeth I brings Armada Portrait of the monarch to life

A contemporary artist has (almost) succeeded in bringing Queen Elizabeth I back to life. In a new exhibit titled'The Mask of Youth', English artist Mat Collishaw has created a strikingly realistic recreation of the Tudor Queen's head with eyes that follow you around the room, blink expectantly and a mouth that opens periodically. The exhibit takes on a surrealist feeling as the animatronic head sits suspended in a mirrored recess, facing the Armada Portrait, one of the most famous paintings of Queen Elizabeth I.

When viewers stand in front of the suspended head, they immediately see things from her point of view, reflected in the mirror behind her.
