Water Crab, 2017

The work Water Crab (2017-ongoing) is a sequel on the waste crab, but conceived to function as a water robotic. As the artificial stupidity series is about allowing failure and reclaiming the domain of robotics in terms of non-intelligence, this Water Crab is not able to clean up all the human waste in the oceans, but is rather a prototype of this idea and avocation that design or art is not only there to make the world a better place. Does a non functional artificial bot also has the right to float our waters?
