Fembot In The Uncanny Valley

Additional Information

Fembot in the Uncanny Valley by Karen Chappelow

Original Watercolour and Ink painting framed under glass 57x70cm

The uncanny valley is a hypothesized psychological and aesthetic relation between an object’s degree of resemblance to a human being and the emotional response to the object

Examples of the phenomenon exist among robotics, 3D computer animations and lifelike dolls. The increasing prevalence of digital technologies (e.g., virtual reality, augmented reality, and photorealistic computer animation) has propagated discussions and citations of the “valley”

The uncanny valley hypothesis predicts that an entity appearing almost human will risk eliciting eerie feelings in viewers.

A gynoid, or Fembot, is a feminine humanoid robot. Gynoids appear widely in science fiction films and arts. Made famous in the movie “Austen Powers”. Realistic humanoid robot design has become technologically possible, and are also emerging in real-life robot design not to mention the Plastic surgeons making real humans appear non-human-go figure!
