Japanese Performance artist Momoyo Torimitsu built a crawling Japanese businessman robot and took it to the streets of Australia to creep out little kids and turn on weird dudes with camcorders. The bot is her critique on the Japanese salaryman lifestyle and the apparent upcoming Asian economic crash. All we know is that dressing up like a nurse and pulling down an old man’s pants in the middle of the street is going to attract some lookey-loos. Oh, and I wouldn’t want to scrape along the street with my undies down. Ouch. [Diagonal View via Dvice]
