I think this video is excellent for several reasons. Technically it has excellent special effects. I especially like the part where she inserts a new eyeball. The movement of the robot body is very well done. The music adds an eerie quality to the whole piece. The editing is brilliant. We start with the wide shot and then switch back and forth between the TV and the face. The background is this very neutral gray just like the doll's face. Did the myth of Pandora occur to anyone in reference to this video?
I was pleased that many of my students seemed to make some personal meaning out of this piece. I think it has a lot to say of the narcissism of our society today. Our technological age is partly to blame for this. The effect of television on our society is far reaching.
