“Can I Go to Your House to Sweep the Floor?“ provided door-to-door cleaning services to female residents of Lianshi using robotic vacuum devices. The robots learn the layout of these domestic locations, building memories of ‘home’. When transferred to the exhibition environment, the robots clean according to their remembered domestic service. Displaced from their familiar setting, crashing into one another they vocalize their sense of loss and confusion in an anguished “I can’t find my way home, come to help me.”
