Suffering machine
Suffering machine by Ricardo Nascimento.
Three-legged robot which makes you feel an empathy for its “suffering”.
Great piece to show, that it’s all in our heads. Even though we know that it’s just a piece of metal and doesn’t have any feelings, we feel sorry for its “resourcelessness” resulting in its walking difficulties.
