Commissioned by the Barbican Centre to create the opening film for the ‘Life Rewired’ season. https://www.barbican.org.uk/read-watch-listen/life-rewired-shorts-uncanny-valley-by-gary-dumbill The “uncanny valley” is a characteristic dip in emotional response that happens when we encounter an entity that is almost, but not quite, human. A nostalgic and familiar place that looks and feels very much like the human experience, but with something a bit strange in the corner of your eye. A place with an odd surrealism you can’t quite put your finger on.
