A junk bag is appently drawing on a wall.
Gustavo is a yellow junk bag out of which cames a motorized arm with a
laser pointer that apparently is carving a near-circular drawing on the wall
through a near-circular continuous movement. Of course, I previously have
carved the drawing on the wall, according to the line described by the laser.
Gustavo stands for the name of the hypothetical disposed robot.
"Do androids dream of electric sheep?" *
Would robot-artists carve drawings on a wall?"
