A photograph of Alexandra Nichols (left) standing with computer scientist Jillian Zhong (right) to document the behaviors of the custom-programmed robotic arm and visual recognition system that make up the artwork “Can’t Help Myself” (2016) by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu. The two stand behind a large black mechanical object in a room walled with windows; both wear a grey top and black pants. Alex, on the left, points to the mechanism with one hand, and holds an Apple laptop in the other.
