Every once in a while it would take a circular swipe around the enclosure to deal up that mess the squeeze leaves on the backside when it pushes to the center. Then spiral inward to leave a really clean surface. The it could go back to chasing stuff as it flows out.
I'll bet if it could think, it would be thinking I wish someone would open the drain so I can rid myself of this mess once and for all.
I don't think a robot doing a squeege job is art... I don't get why anyone would think so either...
Art of any kind is simply to stimulate the mind. There are so many different kinds. Some I like, some makes me think like you "what is so great about that?"Quote:

Same with someone using a manual mill or lathe, or a blacksmith forging old tools. Those Those old tools were and still are as awesome as any "work of art"!!
How is this "art" is worth 170 MILLION dollars is beyond my comprehension.

Jackson Pollock ranks high on my list of "artists" whose "work" is still perpetrating a fraud on the folks with too much money.
One of his most famous works, 17A, pictured below, sold for $200 million in 2015
For other multimillion painting sales, look here...

Investment art has nothing to do with the picture; it's all about who painted it. These people are collecting autographs with the intent of profit when they resell them to the next idiot.

It would possibly be good for screen printing.
That it inspires us to have the conversation about whether it's art or not means it's probably art.Quote:
