The Nightmare in Silicon Valley: 8 horror technologies that should scare you to death
Every night is fright night with what can happen once these scary technologies take hold in ways that you may not have imagined.
Some robots are designed to be cute and approachable. This is not that gallery.
Sweet lord, why? Artist Jordan Wolfson's life-sized, animatronic sculpture is a creepy blonde in a white dress, thigh-high vinyl boots, and a witch's mask. The robot's body is smeared with dirt, and she's programmed to dance in front of a mirror while using facial recognition to make uncomfortable eye contact with viewers. Unlike the other robots on this list, Female Figure is meant to look creepy, a commentary on idealized femininity and objectification. Mission very much accomplished.
