Discussion on Posthuman Aesthetics in Visual Art

I think you analyzed the picture perfectly. I would just like to add that this also pertains to the topic of Uncanny Valley. People who have prosthetic parts possess them in order to fix their complexion which looked abnormal and therefore unsettlingly to other people. Yet even though the prosthetic part's role is to make the person look normal again, once an observer realizes that it is not an actual part of that human but a prosthetic, the fact that it is fake immediately creates an uneasy feeling in that observer. Psychologists link the phobia of dolls to the fear of a fake resembling the real to a too large of a degree. But it is also the fear of the potential of something made by us to serve us potentially becoming our equal or even surpassing our abilities.
