apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Look! Automated Ceiling Broom Sweeping System

atla022808blue_side_up.jpgWhen Roomba is just too simple of a solution (don't fret...it's actually a pretty cool art installation).

 
 

BTW, the installation is called "Blue Side Up" and was created for the 9th International Istanbul Biennial by artist Servet Kocyigit.

Uh, no.

That's a lot of wasted space, aside from being creepy and ugly. And what if you have doors? You can't sweep in those rooms?

RJD... it's an art installation. It's not meant to be a real cleaning solution.

I think it's interesting, however terrible to see those gorgeous plaster ceilings destroyed.

(and aside from the fact that it is shown going through doorways...)

Definitely creepy. Like the Sorcerer's Apprentice from Fantasia!

I think it would be really hypnotic and poetic in person.
