Description |
The Hosts: A Masquerade of Improvising Automatons extends Marynowsky's development of custom-built robotics and interactive, performative media. In this installation, he explores roboticist Masahiro Mori's theory outlined in The Uncanny Valley (1970), which suggests that in designing humanoid robots one should not aim for total human likeness, but for an alternative to an uncanny appearance. |
