Oo. He is a bit eerie isn't he? A couple of years ago, I read an article about a Japanese researcher who had studied people's emotional reactions to art. He found that images of people that were almost, but not quite, lifelike seemed grotesque to most people, whereas more-lifelike or more-stylized images didn't. The phenomenon is called the "uncanny valley", and an article that describes it is at http://edition.cnn.com/2004/TECH/02/...ial.robots.ap/. -- John F.
