Ken Goldberg /// Beyond the Uncanny Valley /// Fri 10/9 from 3-4pm
Please join The Department of Technology, Culture and Society for Ken Goldberg‘s talk, Beyond the Uncanny Valley. Fri 10/9 from 3-4pm in NYU MAGNET’s Lecture Hall.
The essay and the concept of the Uncanny are familiar to literary theorists and art historians, who have charted its the literary and theatrical origins of the concept through works by ETA Hoffman, Mary Shelley, Karel Capek, and Isaac Asimov, its rich history in psychoanalysis, aesthetics, and philosophy, from Jensch to Freud to to Heidegger to Derrida to Cixous to what Martin Jay described as the “master trope” of the 1990’s.
In my own art and research, I’m interested in mortality and the boundary between what is alive and what is life-like. I’ll present a series of short films and artworks that explores this boundary, including the Telegarden (1995-2004), an online installation that let participants tend a living garden using an industrial robot via the Internet. http://goldberg.
