Watch out for robots who build brick walls:

The wall the robot was building -- an aggregate brick wall for a pedestrian area called the Pike Loop.
An MIT Project tracking the movement of post-consumer waste. We all know where trash usually goes -- the dumpster. But do you usually think of how far that trash travels from the trash can?
Patterson Beckwith's "Portrait Studio." I thought this was interesting because at least in Monterey Park,CA there has been a phenomena with silly photo booth stores like Cue! where you can take photos with different digital backgrounds and mess with them.

Marjolijn Dijkman's The Free World, 2009.
Excerpt from the blog:
"Marjolijn dijkman's project 'the free world' explores "the so called ‘ghosthotel’ in the vrijbroekspark in mechelen, belgium. originally intended as a grand urban vision for the provincial city of mechelen, this ruin has become fossilized, a failed utopia in the middle of a nature reserve. due to too high speculation and constructive problems (literally built upon mud) the construction has never been completed. besides a kind of virtual archeologic reconstruction of a never completed building, this work is also a speculation on the current broader issue of abandoned building projects around the world and possible future scenarios to come."
Monika-Sziladi, from The Aquarium series. "On the effort but inability of people to connect."
