Was that really a robot?

I found this on iFilm. When I did a web search, I found it also on Google Video. You can see more than this clip for 99 cents. I didn't realize it was really a teaser to get you to pay more.

The description reads:


Japanese performance artist Momoyo Torimitsu takes her robot for a crawl in downtown Sydney, Australia. Crowds watch the bizarre sight of the life-like Japanese businessman in suit and tie slowly crawling on all fours along the pavement. The robot is a symbol of the Japan's rigid Salaryman culture.

Japan, Asia, Quirky, Hi-tech, Robots, Inventions, business, Australia, men, sad, desperate, tragedy, humanoid, artificial intelligence,

well i had a toy when i was small that was crawling the same way...
so its like a bigger version of this toy yea?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Japan is the creepy-cool robot empire. no one else even comes close.

I knew this artist a few years ago. Hung out with her in Tokyo. She's done the robot thing all over the world.

reminds me of the 'baby that-a-way' I had as a kid

I love Japan....It'll be too bad if it sinks...all those tube amplifiers, Fender strats, and Harleys' into the icy Pacific.
