Sheep Shearing Robot Auditions For New Chris Cunningham Video

All this video needs is a Bjork soundtrack, a homo-erotic kiss, and bunch of water to complete it — of course we’re talking about the Chris Cunningham directed video for Bjork’s All is Full of Love. But we digress.

If ever wondered where the wool for your bespoke Yohji Yamamoto suit comes from, here’s a small glimpse of what the future holds. According to the original YouTube posting “the robot” (housed at the University of Western Australia) clipped around 400 fleeces between 1985 and 1993 with fewer skin cuts (for the sheep) than a human[!] shearer. Take that Norelco. Now if the Aussie’s would create a “robot” to trim Ryan Gosling’s body hair and beard — in this same position. I’d be all over it.
