CAMPOS-FONSECA, Susan. Uncanny Valley Project, a Cyberfeminist Intervention in the X Central American Biennial. LiminaR [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.15-34. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.2536/liminar.v15i2.527.

This article/testimony discusses a cyber-feminist intervention entitled Uncanny Valley Project, part of the 10th Biennial Centro- American celebration (2016). This intervention is analyzed from a critical close-up perspective of the “corporal” and “feminist”, categories proposed by Tamara Diaz; the hypothesis of Uncanny Valley as put forth by Masahiro Mori will also be utilized. The intent is to explore how these ideas/interventions together with electronic music, function in the current period of crisis as a means to construct bodies that invent and innovate; concepts of performance and robotic esthetics as practiced by people interested in electronic music will be considered. As a result of this investigation, we hope to position this intervention within the Costa Rican electronic music movement, shedding light on the larger Central American context, and highlighting the contributions of its creators.
