Although there is a strong element of irony in the project, it nonetheless seems only fitting that our relationships with domestic robots should incorporate some of the darker features that characterize relationships in nature.

Love this. I’d like to broaden this idea from “domestic robots” to technology in general. Technology and robots have a cruelness to them. The horror a faulty assembly robot can cause just by means of uncontrolled force, to computer virusses which resemble this dark feature fairly well.. How this translates to our living environment is indeed the case. This goes not only for technology, but for “nature” itself too. The “nature” we find that is managed by man, how “natural” is that? How natural do we want it to be?
