“Money to avoid being bothered”

Brief:

People sometimes give money to hobos just to avoid being bothered by them, without really caring about their lives and situations. \[ Hobo ] is a robotic installation that tries to represent this theme in the metropolis. It chases visitors and makes loud noises to bother them unless they throw coins into the installation.
