SHYBOT


The Italian artist Norma Jeane worked with a team of engineers to design a robot that they subsequently liberated in Palm Desert.
This robot has no function in the traditional sense. It does not serve us; it probably will not enslave us (perhaps only our imagination). Instead, this robot is programmed to run. To run immediately, with nervous electric heartbeat, in the opposite direction as soon as it senses the presence of a human being.
Shyness is considered a trait unique to the human condition — no animals, let alone machines, can be ever be shy. The story goes that shyness is a reflection of our self-consciousness, of our uncertainty about who we are in relationship to a world made up of other uncertain beings. As humans we are condemned to be free: there are no moral supports, no justifications, and no algorithms on which we can base our decisions. We must make and remake our significance within that world, constantly and from moment to moment.

THE OBAMAS ARE MOVING TO PALM SPRINGS!




  The Obamas are reportedly moving to California. 
Despite renting this family home in Washington DC from January, they are said to have purchased a new house in Rancho Mirage, a city located just outside Palm Springs in California, according to
 The New York Post.  Rancho Mirage is home to the presidential getaway Sunnylands –
 said to be the West Coast version of Camp David – meaning that family have probably visited plenty of times and that's why they have decided to settle there.  Although they have already purchased the property, they won't be moving any time soon. The family plans to stay in Washington DC until Sasha graduates from high school.
