Hey -- this rainbow tastes like pet fur and dust bunnies!

What happens when you let seven Roombas (each with a different colored LED strapped to its head) loose in a room for a late-night cleaning sesh? This. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS, LARRY.

The creators, IBR Algorithm Group, explain that the Roombas were all running at the same time, hence the collision points in the painting.

Personally, I don't want to be killed in my sleep for being too lazy to run a vacuum, so I've never owned a Roomba. My brother has one though, and I haven't heard from him in weeks. You do the math. "10 x 2 = 30" Okaaaaaaaaay, maybe we'll let a calculator do the math next time.
