“Imagine a cardboard version of Pixar’s Wall-e character, but with added über-cute human voice, and you’ve got a fair picture of Boxie, Alexander Reben’s documentary-video-making robot. Designed to wander the streets shooting video, the diminutive droid trundles up to people and asks them to tell it an interesting story. Sounds crazy? Surprisingly, not entirely: a good few people did actually cooperate with Boxie – enough to make a short movie – though one malcontent dumped the robot in a trash can and a child tried to kidnap it.” – Paul Marks
