Can't Help Myself is a kinetic sculpture created by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu in 2016. [1] The sculpture consists of a robotic arm that can move and dance, but has the primary purpose of sweeping up any of the red, cellulose ether fluid that escapes from its inner core. [2] Can't Help Myself was commissioned by the Guggenheim museum and was created with the intent of cultivating several dialogues about the advancement of technology and industrialization, violent border control, and allusions to the nature of life. [3]

Contents

The sculpture was displayed at the Guggenheim Museum in the Tales of Our Times exhibition as well as the Venice Biennale in 2019 for the May You Live in Interesting Times exhibition following its creation until its "death" in 2019. [4] Each of the displays of Can't Help Myself has constructed the various audience interpretations of the kinetic sculpture's purpose, meaning, and social criticism. [5]

Creators

Modern artists Sun Yuan and Peng Yu are an artistic duo that began making non-normative and unconventional art in the 2000s. [6] Sun Yuan was born in Beijing, China in 1972 and Peng Yu was born in Heilongjiang, China in 1974. [7] The pair first met each other while attending at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing where they both studied oil painting. [4] After completing their studies at the Central Academy of Fine arts in the 1990s, Sun Yuan and Peng Yu had short solo careers that set an artistic foundation for their partnership in the early 2000s. [4]

Currently, the pair creates kinetic and installation art pieces that work to incorporate unconventional and organic materials into artworks and create "statement" pieces about the current systems of political and social authority. [8] Yuan and Yu utilize technology and multi media art to "comment critically on the modern understanding and exercise of political constructs like the nation-state, sovereign territory, freedom, and democracy." [8]

Can't Help Myself is one of the many pieces of kinetic art that Sun Yuan and Peng Yu created throughout their career with increasing media attention. [9] Aforementioned, Can't Help Myself is a kinetic sculpture that is made from a mobile robotic arm. [1] The idea of using a robot as the main object of focus in Can't Help Myself stemmed from the artists' desires to relinquish their "artistic will" or "artistic genius" and replace it with something mechanical or programed, alluding to the meaning of the artwork. [8] The ultimate goal of Yuan and Yu's Can't Help Myself is to evoke powerful physical, emotional, and psychological responses from their audience and prompt them to scrutinize the socio-political systems that plague todays society, such as industrial violence at the border. [3]

Creation and display

Can't Help Myself Robot 05.jpg

Can't Help Myself was created with immense planning as well as consideration of the audience shock factor, a signature characteristic of Sun Yuan and Peng Yu's collaborative projects. [3] The kinetic sculpture was created using a Kuka (KUKA model Kr180 R3100 K) industrial robot arm made of stainless steel with an exterior black coating. [2] Furthermore, the arm was modulated by the addition of a shovel and a rubber squeegee at its end. [2] The arm functioned at a 360 degree radius and had full mobility through a programmable Kuka controller. The sculpture itself was powered by a high voltage cable connected to the base of the robot. [2] A hydraulic component was installed at its center, and consisted of 48 gallons of cellulose ether and dark-red colored water that would seep from the center of the sculpture. [2]

The robot was installed on a 7m x 7m white wooden, waterproofed platform with room for wiring underneath. Aside from the platform, Can't Help Myself was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling clear polycarbonate panels that would prevent spillage and protect the piece. [2] Within in the instillation space there were 18 LED lights and 4 GigE Cognex industrial cameras placed in a grid on the ceiling. [2] The cameras were programmed to the Kuka controller to serve as a visual recognition system that detected the movement of the red, bloodlike liquid. [2] This resulted in the arms recognition of an area of spillage, motion towards it, and consequential squeegeeing of the liquid toward the robots base. [2] The Kuka robot was also programed to perform 32 distinct dances when not sent to squeegee different areas of the raised platform. [2]

Kinetic sculpture

"Blowin' in the wind".gif

Kinetic art began occupying space in the art realm in the 1920s upon the publication of the "Realist Manifesto" in Moscow. [10] Kinetic art emerged as a means of defying the static nature of art and art elements by the formation of sculptures with kinetic rhythms perceivable to their audience. [10]

In order for an art piece to be characterized as kinetic it must possess one or more of the following characteristics: 1) an optical phenomena, 2) transformative, 3) movable by the observer, 4) mechanical in nature, 5) playing with light and surrounding environments, and 6) have intrinsic movement. [10]

The goal of a kinetic sculpture is to create a machine in which motion is a critical component of the piece, resulting the audience's failure to associate the sculpture with an mere object. [11] The automated nature of Can't Help Myself categorizes the sculpture as a work of kinetic art, which, in turn, generates an anthropomorphic quality to the robotic arm. [1] This anthropomorphism partially is because of the robotics performative nature and completion of the human task of cleaning up a spillage. [1] In addition, the spectators enter an emotional phase of connection with the artwork, followed by in intellectual phase where the audience works to understand the origins and significance of the motion, another quality of kinetic art. [11] Can't Help Myself was created with the intent of generating both an emotional and intellectual response from viewers and takes up the human task of representing the violence and terror at the border. [3] Furthermore, Can't Help Myself is a physical manifestation of metaphysical ideas which directly elicits a human emotional response from the audience, as kinetic art should do. [3]

Dances, duty, and demise

There are three integral qualities to understanding the functionality of Can't Help Myself: the dances it performs, its programmable duty and purpose, as well as its demise when it stopped operating in 2019. [4]

Can't Help Myself Robot 01.jpg

Dances

When Can't Help Myself was created, it was programmed to perform for its spectators. [1] The robotic arm was made to dance, and had 32 unique dance moves, such as "a** shake", "scratch an itch", and "bow and shake". [1] These dances functioned as technical representations of the artists' machine animation skills as well as the artists' desire to anthropomorphize the sculpture and parallel its existence to that of a human. [1] The dances themselves served the purpose of eliciting an emotional response from the viewer and grasping their attention. The programmed dances would have looked familiar to the audience, giving Can't Help Myself a humanistic quality that is unavoidable. The robot also would have interacted with viewers through "waving" or even doing "jazz hands", committing their attention to the sculpture. [12] Furthermore, this dancing quality simultaneously shifts the audience perspective of the sculpture as an object to understanding the sculpture as an extension of humanity or something living. [11]

Duty

The functional purpose of the moving robotic arm in Can't Help Myself spans much further than its interactive dance moves and crowd engagement. The duty of the robotic arm is to sweep up the dark-red cellulose ether fluid that seeps out from its inner core, something that was thought as necessary to maintain its functionality. [1] The 4 GigE Cognex industrial cameras, placed above the sculpture, alert the robotic arm to move to an area of spillage and squeegee said fluid back to its center. [2] As time proceeded the spillage became larger and became harder for the robotic arm to manage. This shifted the life trajectory of the robot from dancing and entertaining its viewers to constantly working to fulfill its programmed duty. [12] The responsibilities of the sculptures have been equated to the participation in a Sisyphean task, a task that will never be fully completed, by the artists and curators alike. [3] The endless sweeping of the fluid to the inner core of the sculpture was artistically intended to be absurd, laborious, and eerily satisfying. [1] The audience surveying the repetitive duty of the robot keeps them engaged in the piece and contemplate its meaning and significance. [3] Furthermore, the repeated duty of Can't Help Myself gives it a sense of consciousness as a life-form, one that has been captured, confined, and subject to a task in a given space. [1]

Demise

Can't Help Myself Robot 03.jpg

Two years after the completion of Can't Help Myself, it came to a permanent halt in 2019. [9] The death was not due to hydraulics or the loss of too much fluid, as Can't Help Myself was completely programmed, ran on electricity, and powered off every night by museum staff. [2] The artwork was programmed to perpetually squeegee the "blood-like" fluid seeping from its inner core, as a Sisyphean task, but not as a life necessity. [4] The death of Can't Help Myself was completely subjected to the artists, and in 2019 they decided to come into the gallery space and unplugged their creation. [4] Therefore hydraulics of the kinetic sculpture was not an integral part of its functionality, but only a component of the piece to make a statement. [12]

Solomon R. Guggenheim: Tales of Our Time

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York City, Lobby Skylight Delight.jpg

Can't Help Myself was created in 2016 and commissioned by the Robert H.N. Ho family collection for display at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. [13] The artwork was intended to be displayed as a part of an exhibition that called attention to Chinese artists with an emphasis on displaying cultural and historical hidden narratives titled Tales of Our Time. [13] The name of the exhibition is a play on the title of a book, Gushi xin bian, by a modern Chinese literary Lu Xun, which comments on society and contemporary issues by retelling relevant ancient Chinese legends. [13] The exhibit itself serves as a cohesive group of art pieces that deconstruct the fabrications of the past and reveal the present for its true nature. [13] This exhibit was curated by Xiaoyu Weng with the intention of being politically polarized and creating a dialogue about migration and borders in China. [3] Tales of Our Time ran from November 4, 2016 to March 10, 2017. [3] With its purpose of eliciting unknown cultural and historical narratives as well as challenging the "conventional understanding of place", Can't Help Myself was created as Sun Yuan and Peng Yu's representation of geography and the nation state. [13] The presence of Can't Help Myself as a kinetic sculpture in this exhibit speaks to its role of promote awareness to industrialized brutality on the Asian borders as well as the migration crisis in China. [3] This artwork along with the others in the exhibition represent an artistic effort of contributing to the globalization of art via combating nationalism and intersecting art and traditional storytelling. [14]

2019 Venice Biennale: May You Live in Interesting Times

La Biennale di Venezia 2019.jpg

After its display at the Guggenheim, Can't Help Myself was displayed at the 2019 Venice Biennale for its 58th anniversary. [15] The Venice Biennale's 58th exhibition, titled May You Live in Interesting Times, was curated by Ralph Rugoff and ran from May 11, 2019 to November 24, 2019. [16]

The expression "interesting times" was utilized by the Venice Biennale to represent the "menacing times" of sociopolitical polarization and "oversimplification of controversial topics". [16] The May You Live in Interesting Times was to bring awareness to global crises such as nationalism, treats to traditions and institutions, and controversial relationships in a "post-war" and highly combated world. [16] The works present in May You Live in Interesting Times was to serve as a demonstration of arts social function and present art pieces that challenging existing habits and exposes multiple perspectives on controversial issues. [15]

The exhibition itself was split into two propositions, Proposition A and Proposition B which each include one artwork from the same group of artist, each piece being vastly different and utilizing different mediums. [17] In general, Proposition A was more primitive in subject and had archaic displays, whereas Proposition B represented a shift toward modernity and industrialization. [15] This allows for each artist to display an alternative presentation of their perspective of global politics. [17] Can't Help Myself was displayed in the Central Pavilion within Proposition B and served as a testament to Sun Yuan and Peng Yu's perspective of technology's effect on politics and the maintenance of geopolitical borders. [15] Can't Help Myself tells the story of the political "other" through using industrialization to emphasize this narrative. [14] The kinetic sculpture is a manifestation of a sentient form of life captured in a cage and put on display and confined to do a Sisyphean task because of technology and industrial programming. [15]

Interpretations of Can't Help Myself

Can't Help Myself Robot 04.jpg

Can't Help Myself is a modern artist interpretation of technology at the border and the violence that it has caused. [3] Firstly, the cameras present above the sculpture are method of activation for a machine that elicits a response once something or someone passes a certain point of restriction or no return. [3] The blood-like substance, although useless for the functionality for the object itself, is a testament to the bloodshed that spills out from industrialization and technological violence at geopolitical borders in China and across the globe. [18] The Sisyphean task of cleaning up the spillage is a reference to border technology's sole purpose of causing bloodshed and restricting migrants from passing a specific point. [12] However the constant spillage represents the human impulsive behavior of seeping out of the core for outward movement in uncharted territory. [15] The dancing of the machine is purposeful as it convolutes Can't Help Myself's identity as both a robot, but as a human, exposing its vulnerabilities. [4] This anthropomorphic quality raises questions about the separation of man from machine and generates the audience to question if the makers of the machine or the machine itself has true control over its actions. [2] The piece is a testament to increasing machine intelligence and the controversies of surveillance culture. Curator Xiaoyu Weng states "Humans are unaware that the machines and programs created for surveillance result in them becoming subject to mechanic monitoring and controlling of behavior", which summarizes the further implications of Can't Help Myself. [2] Lastly, the artists' unplugging the sculpture is their metaphorical way of advising political officials to put an end to the technological violence at nation borders and encouraging people to break away from monotony and allow them to branch out of their preordained, enclosed spaces. [4]

Social media and Reemergence

Can't Help Myself has gained public attention starting in 2023 because of social media networks like TikTok and Instagram; however, its audience perception has changed. [9] Social media framing as well as commentary on posts have highlighted the anthropomorphic quality of the sculpture where people feel as though it is "relatable robot" and state "no piece of art has emotionally effected me this way". [19] [20] The interpretation of the robot has altered from it's intended meaning and has been increasingly associated as an allegory about life and the idea of working to live. [19] The most common misconception is that the hydraulic fluid is lost "blood" from the robot and is squeegeed back to the center because the robot needs it to live. [20] The Sisyphean nature of the sculpture has caused its audience to resonate with Can't Help Myself as a reflection on people's constant suffering that comes with repetitively doing work to maintain themselves and their lifestyles. [19] The death of the robot elicits many feelings from its current audience, but recent interpretations revolve around the idea that regardless if people do their due diligence to sustain themselves, there is always a higher preceding power that has other plans. [5] This suffering, as seen in the sculpture, is perpetual and never ends until it becomes the source of human's death and demise as they work their entire life to keep themselves from "spilling" and falling apart. [20]

Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World is an exhibition that took place at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York between October 6, 2017 – January 7, 2018. The exhibition presents works by seventy-one artists and artist collectives across China and worldwide, who define contemporary experience in and of China. Looking at a period between the Tiananmen Square Protests, which also coincides with the end of the Cold War, and the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the exhibition explores a time when "anything seemed possible" and artists from China sought visibility in the global art world. The curators of the exhibition write that the works in this exhibition respond to how China went through a radical transformation between 1989 and 2008, which had an unmatchable impact at the global level. The exhibition has been considered as "an invaluable window" onto the intersection of contemporary art, politics, and history, and as an opportunity to ask questions about the role of museums as sites of learning how one could be a global citizen today. It also traveled to Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
