Robot mimics human emotions through the power of ‘90s jams

“What do machines sing of?” It’s a semi-reasonable question asked by a recent installation by Berlin-based hacker/composer Martin Backes. The answer, obviously, is that they sing about whatever they are damn well programmed to sing about. In this case, Backes has created a robot to sing an endless loop of ‘90s love songs like “My Heart Will Go On” and “I Will Always Love You.”
