I know people will rush to use this story in their slidedecks. That was a thought I had 😅. Before you do, just be aware that the robot is not leaking fluid, the fluid is not necessary for function and the robot never died or ran out of fluid in 2019. LuckyGordy/1480958227110060037?s=20

I'm all for individual interpretation of art, but the premise to describe the piece in the first tweet is "It's programmed to try to contain the hydraulic fluid that's constantly leaking out and required to keep itself running." Nothing in that sentence is true.

More on how the robot actually works on the Guggenheim website. This work by Sun Yuan & Peng Yu was commissioned for the Guggenheim Museum in 2016. What happened in 2019? It was moved to Venice. guggenheim.org/artwork/34812

.designboom did a writeup when the robot visited the 2019 Venice Art Biennale. "for sun yuan and peng yu the uncontrollable liquid that the machine keeps trying to contain conjures what they perceive to be art’s essential elusiveness" designboom.com/art/sun-yuan-peng-yu-cant-help-myself-robot-venice-art-biennale-05-12-2019/
