Alluring Androids, Robot Women, and Electronic Eves
Always popular with the troops from the Dark Side, an exhibtion of artificial women is now playing at The New York Hall of Science.
But don't expect to see King George in attendance. Like many a man on the Right, he has his own at home. (Heh, and they say feminists don't have a sense of humor.)
Lara Croft, the Japanese robot Repliee Q2, and the Stepford Wives are a few of the artificial women pictured in Alluring Androids, Robot Women, and Electronic Eves, a new gallery exhibition opening June 17 at the New York Hall of Science.
Exploring artists’, filmmakers’, and photographers’ long-time fascination with images of artificial women that seem alive, Alluring Androids, Robot Women, and Electronic Eves contains large images of female robots, androids, automatons, dolls, mannequins, and other artificial women.
The exhibit is curated by State University of New York, Maritime College Professor Julie Wosk, author of Women and the Machine: Representations From the Spinning Wheel to the Electronic Age and Breaking Frame: Technology and the Visual Arts in the Nineteenth Century.
