Japanese artist Momoyo Torimitsu guides her life-like robot Miyata Jiro as passersby look on in central Sydney April 24, 2001. New York-based Torimitsu, dressed in a white nurses uniform, \"tends\" to Miyata Jiro as he crawls through streets in a humourous reference to his role as a \"corporate soldier\" and the Asian economic crash of 1997. [Torimitsu's street performance forms the basis of an exhibition she will stage at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art later this year. She has already made public appearances in New York's Wall Street, in London, Paris and Rio de Janeiro.]
