What are your thoughts on Can’t Help Myself by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu? AKA the robotic arm sweeping up something bloodlike leaking out of it.
[Also requested by @archvillain]
First, I would like to highly recommend watching a video of this robot, it's cool as hell, and the movements really sell it, honestly.
So, I want to start with acknowledging the actual meaning of this piece. It's about the violence and Sisyphean nature of guarding and enforcing borders. "Every border implies the violence of its maintenance" and all of that. This is a very important political message. However, I think allowing yourself to only see an art for the intended meaning is counterproductive to the very nature of art.
The robot moves in a jerky fashion, tries desperately to keep this blood-like substance close to it. In doing so, it slowly destroys itself. It gunks up it's own mechanisms, it works itself to death.
And yet, this is all it can do. It was made to do this eternally. It lacks free will, it cannot do anything else and it cannot desire to do anything else. It quite literally, cannot help itself.
I find the jerky movements alluring, the inhuman nature of it, the constant reminder that it is far from human. I find the lack of control it has erotic. As I've said before, both extreme control and extreme loss of control are erotic, in my opinion.
The blood-like substance it seeks to contain and the voyeuristic nature of the viewer just elevate this. We are watching something, and should we be watching it? The desperation of the robot, the way it almost seems to be cleaning up its own blood, these feel intimate, like something not intended for us.
Overall, I give this one a 10/10. It elicits a strong "i think i hauve covid" from me.

Fun fact about the early Catholic church is that, despite spending generations being persecuted by the Roman empire, it took less than 15 years under Theodosius I to go from “the empire is Catholic now” to “and also every other religion is banned.” You can literally read St. Augustine move from “state religious persecution is unacceptable” to “state religious persecution is cool actually” over his lifetime as Catholicism came to power. I’m sure there’s no broader lessons to be learned there
