Combination of AI-generated animation and video works. “The Uncanny TV” is an interactive installation whereby browsing through TV channels the spectator is invited to discover the mystery of the ghost hidden inside the uncanny imagination of electronic media. This installation brings a deeper personal investigation into the world of uncanniness. It is a very personal-oriented artistic research due to our very individual and unique imagination. Something that is beautiful to me can be totally horrific to you. The same goes for uncanniness. As Ernst Jentsch said: ''If one wants to come closer to the essence of the uncanny, it is better not to ask what it is, but rather to investigate how the effective excitement of the uncanny arises in psychological terms, how the psychical conditions must be constituted so that the ‘uncanny’ sensation emerges.''
