    CHRIST. I saw this exact design in Tate Modern yesterday. There, it was sculpture. Here, it is desirable.

    Ok, not so fast. It doesn’t actually clean the floor. Just looks spooky. Hm. If it emits an electric hum, I have a feeling that that spooky feeling would evaporate pretty quickly. Clearly what I’m looking for is a hoover that hoovers the room itself. Dyson can’t be far away from that.

    I take it you are not familiar with the roomba.

    Good fucking God. Well my previous and only acquaintance with a roomba was this. There are so many American cultural references to learn, I let that one go by. Probably assumed it was some kind of kid’s toy.

    You can even hack them to be controlled by your cellphone.
