Sparky is four feet tall and has a TV monitor for a head. He can see, he can talk, and he likes sculpture by Louise Bourgeois. He's the invention of the artist Marque Cornblatt, who controls Sparky from his laptop – and he wants you to have a Sparky of your own. Lisa Katayama takes Sparky on a spin through the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Sparky is just a remotely-operated toy. It is not much of a robot. This segment was annoying.
