About this Piece

This was the last installment of the uncanny valley series. The piece consisted of a mobile of heads, suspended over my bed and spinning slowly. The entire room was lit up in a glaring red color, with candles and other sources of ambient light present as well. This was an attempt to play with the ideas of comfort and discomfort. The viewers of this piece, most of which I didn't know outside of a classroom setting, were asked to lay completely in my bed to view the piece properly. By setting this piece in my room, a very intimate location, the space was made uncanny in itself as the viewers were faced with a comfortable space they'd never been in or seen before, purposefully made extra comfortable and extra creepy at the same time.
