Uncanny Valley (Kirschner and Panos, 2013)
HD, 10min, silent

The process of facial motion capture to extract minute expressions for naturalistic animated characters is juxtaposed with the construction of epic scenes featuring large crowds, as a way of approaching the simulation, interpenetration and redistribution of affects and affective economies on an individual and mass scale.
