Curious Archive | Sympathy for the Machine

The saddest piece of art I’ve ever seen is about a robot.

Actually, it is a robot. It’s a mechanical arm by artists Sun Yuan and Peng Yu that must continually push a leaking liquid back into its body to function. And here’s the thing — I know, rationally, this art installation is not alive. Like every machine, it is, by definition, something artificial.
And no matter how advanced robots become, they’ll never have… souls. Right?
