A cleverly designed robot, constructed of steel tubing, with a head made from an old vacuum cleaner broom head captured the attention of tourists and Londoners at the Occupy London Stock Exchange protest. UK. 4th December 2011

The cleverly designed robot, constructed of steel tubing, with a head made from an old vacuum cleaner broom head proved to be more than a piece of brilliant engineering. It provoked thought via the recorded voices of members of the 99%, which then became his.
One voice spoke of his troubles after being in the Gulf war and another of sleeping in doorways and his struggles to improve his life and find a partner, but 'I couldn't really ask her to come back to mine'.
