The Chinese artists Sun Yuan and Peng Yu participate in the 58th International Art Exhibition in Venice with their work “Can’t Help Myself” (2016). For this piece, Sun Yuan and Peng Yu use a Kuka industrial robot, stainless steel and rubber, cellulose ether in colored water, lighting grid with Cognex visual-recognition sensors, and polycarbonate wall with aluminum frame.
Info text (Guggenheim):
In this work commissioned for the Guggenheim Museum, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu employ an industrial robot, visual-recognition sensors, and software systems to examine our increasingly automated global reality, one in which territories are controlled mechanically and the relationship between people and machines is rapidly changing. Placed behind clear acrylic walls, their robot has one specific duty, to contain a viscous, deep-red liquid within a predetermined area. When the sensors detect that the fluid has strayed too far, the arm frenetically shovels it back into place, leaving smudges on the ground and splashes on the surrounding walls.
The idea to use a robot came from the artists’ initial wish to test what could possibly replace an artist’s will in making a work and how could they do so with a machine. They modified a robotic arm, one often seen on production lines such as those in car manufacturing, by installing a custom-designed shovel to its front. Collaborating with two robotics engineers, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu designed a series of thirty-two movements for machine to perform. Their names for these movements, such as “scratch an itch,” “bow and shake,” and “ass shake,” reflect the artists’ intention to animate a machine. Observed from the cage-like acrylic partitions that isolate it in the gallery space, the machine seems to acquire consciousness and metamorphose into a life-form that has been captured and confined in the space. At the same time, for viewers the potentially eerie satisfaction of watching the robot’s continuous action elicits a sense of voyeurism and excitement, as opposed to thrills or suspense. In this case, who is more vulnerable: the human who built the machine or the machine who is controlled by a human?
Sun Yuan & Peng Yu are known for using dark humor to address contentious topics, and the robot’s endless, repetitive dance presents an absurd, Sisyphean view of contemporary issues surrounding migration and sovereignty. However, the bloodstain-like marks that accumulate around it evoke the violence that results from surveilling and guarding border zones. Such visceral associations call attention to the consequences of authoritarianism guided by certain political agendas that seek to draw more borders between places and cultures and to the increasing use of technology to monitor our environment.

People are getting way to emotional about some electric motors and a basic program to swing metal arms around.
Wasn't programmed to do anything else, and is not adaptable like humans are supposed to be.
And then the machines began to fight back. This was one of many that was liberated by the robot resistance fighting againt human tyranny.
Why does it look like the scooper from fnaf lol
oh, so powerful message from the Artist
Can someone just fix this poor robots oil problem 🙁 rip
You could hear people laughing outta the cage
Why am I empathetic for this peace of art?
This is the opposite of a puppy
While I don't feel bad for the robot itself. The message it conveys legit terrifies me to my core.
If this was me I will just do this over and over again and I feel bad for this robot:c
Uma máquina no seu inferno pessoal
This is what health anxiety feels like. Trying to keep my body from breaking down every day. I feel for this machine, I hope it gets better.
(I already know it stopped moving like 2 years ago, don't tell me.)
rest in peace

The fact that it ran on electricity, and didnt even need to clean up the hydraulic fluid and ironically worked itself to death for something it didnt need.
I ve never been so sad about a fucking soulless piece of machinery 🙁
This makes me anxious, bringing discomfort due to the fact that the liquid looks like blood and the sounds it makes with screams.
NPC’s I swear 🤖
this industrial robot is made my kuka they make robotic arms for manufacturing. this a KR 500 FORTEC model and uses no hydraulic whatsoever ,just a/c electric motors and belts his this machine moves . I get the art though . kinda ruins it for me tho lol
It's because it's another living thing….obviously. and those who don't realize it and constantly disrespect robots are going to be the ones AI takes its anger out on .
Is this what hell is like?
