robot cyclops is watching you
Artist Golan Levin made a giant, curious, googley-eyed, robotic, worm-cyclops who watches over visitors to the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. One day, I hope to thoroughly confuse the future neighbors of my future home with one of these. Watch the video because it brings joy:

This requires–nay, demands–a patented Meredith mixtape (or mixCD or mixMP3 or whatever you kids are calling them now).
I humbly suggest starting out with Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” and They Might Be Giants’ “Cyclops Rock”.
AHH! yes! also: the police’s “every breath you take” and the o’kaysons “i’m a girl-watcher”
Ooh, and Robert Plant’s “Hurting Kind (Got My Eye on You)”!
Neat.

[...] Are you listening, science? Instead of kicking robot dogs and building robot models and oversized, terrifying robot babies, you should just make things that look nothing like people and function only to make people happy. If this curious robo-clops doesn’t fill your heart with joy you are COLD and DEAD inside. Via never slap the gift donkey. [...]
