Cloris He’s artistic practices focus on utilizing silicone as the main material to develop both sculpture and media artworks. Through the hybridity of humanity and artificiality, she discusses human identity within the realm of anthropocentrism and posthumanism. Based on the uncanny valley theory, which was introduced by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori as a hypothesis of a human’s emotional reaction to the resemblance between objects and human beings, her artworks attempt to form a sense of “strange familiarity” with a mixture of mystery and horror. Undermining the exceptionalism of human beings, Cloris believes the new perception she forged on human ideologies by constructing human-like objects can shed light on the reflection of human supremacy.
