On Mechanical Anthropomorphism

There’s something strange in the human condition that allows us to anthropomorphise pretty much anything – easily (and this is something the Japanese excel at – to the extent that their cars cant have “sad” faces)… and yet when it comes to “as accurate as possible humanoids” we’re incredibly good at spotting fakes.

And not only that, they seem a bit unnerving.

An ode to Cognitive Surplus.

A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...


A celebration of laterality.


If you come they will build it.


By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.
