Concept of Reverse Uncanny Valley

The Uncanny Valley is a theory by roboticist Masahiro Mori published in 1970. According to it, the more an android robot resembles a human, the more monstrous its imperfections appear to them. Many humans will feel more at ease in front of a clearly artificial robot than in front of a robot pretending to be human. However, it would seem that passing a certain degree of realism would lead humans to accept them more readily afterwards. When the entity's appearance is almost totally human, it causes confusion and a sensation of strangeness, through cognitive dissonance. During this show, the Kiosk is no longer the Kiosk, but it still is. The humans are not human anymore, but they still are. The sound tries to resemble real sound, but it doesn't fit in with the demands of listeners.
