Y'know, one would think that watching interpretive dance performed by a friggin' robot would make all that intense posturing enjoyable....but, y'know what?
It's not!

I was expecting some funky 'bot moves; instead I got a droid on 'shrooms . . .

Oh, this is great, just what we need. Robots that can not only read our minds, but can dance (presumably) evocatively?

I sense the robotic stripper movement to be right around the corner. No longer will I have to bring in a 20-page paper to the strip joint detailing exactly what I want in a lap dance.

I suspect if it did it to my dreams, it would look like it was having a seizure.

Dream of electric sheep, that is, not violate them.

What happens if you dream of violating Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics? Or electric sheep?

By giving an example of and drawing attention to this process. We hope to give people the opportunity to think critically what personalized technology actually means.

...through a dancing robot.

Next up, a twelve foot phallus made of Styrofoam, recycled from cups out of church brunches, to draw attention to the failure of welfare reform.
