I heard about Wafaa Bilala a Chicago artist from Iraq who has a installation, a site here where you can control a camera roboticly, and shoot him, with paint pellets. In a video he mentioned he needed a good night sleep. I whipped up this ruby script that moves the robot left, all the time. Their firewall blocks me after a while. But if you want to try…

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# give the guy an hour of sleep
require 'net/http' 

url= 'wafaabilal.com'
h = Net::HTTP.new(url, 80)

7200.times do |i|
  response = h.get("/forward.php?action=move_left") 
  sleep(0.5)
end
