You've seen DJ I Robot from the bowels of the MIT Media Lab. Please meet Scratch Robot, a machine which converts e-mail messages to sound by mechanically scratching on a turntable. Scratch Robot was created by Stijin Slabbinck of Belgian firm Spess, who is also responsible for a variety of interesting robots, including the mechanisms in Green Velvet's La La Land video.
