‘Perturbing’ (Unheimlich) is that which should have remained hidden and which suddenly reveals itself, tearing the veil of familiarity. This is an expressive dynamic typical of our contemporaneity, marked by the radicalisation of post-modernism at the hands of the web society and which concerns the externalisation of tendencies of attraction, perverse and obscene, which reject any imaginative embankment in order to manifest themselves directly in the vision. How has the commercial imaginary been contaminated by this new expressive logic? What is meant by uncanny valley? And what function does art have within these new circuits of meaning?
