A Modest Proposal, III

For the Tate Modern Turbine Hall... Just in case I get the commission, and my expected MacArthur:

Polish the floor and let two Roomba robots loose in the space. I might have to modify the 'bots to have "people sensors" -- presuming that they don't already, this is part of the research leading up to the installation -- such that they would be attracted to the crowds but also try to keep a discrete distance, thus showing signs of distress if cornered. Braitenberg in Service of the Arts!

And I bet the sound would be great if you could silence the hoi-polloi.
