Right; someone needs to buy me a plane ticket and fly me out to this event right fucking now.

Once, Twice, Three Times an Android
New Gallery Exhibition Showcases Robot Women, Electronic EvesQueens, N.Y. – Lara Croft, the Japanese robot Repliee Q2, and the Stepford Wives are a few of the artificial women pictured in Alluring Androids, Robot Women, and Electronic Eves, a new gallery exhibition opening June 17 at the New York Hall of Science.
Exploring artists’, filmmakers’, and photographers’ long-time fascination with images of artificial women that seem alive, Alluring Androids, Robot Women, and Electronic Eves contains large images of female robots, androids, automatons, dolls, mannequins, and other artificial women. These include images from films, photography, intermedia art, animation, and video ranging from early automatons to the life-like female androids in today’s video and computer games.
The exhibit is curated by State University of New York, Maritime College Professor Julie Wosk, author of Women and the Machine: Representations From the Spinning Wheel to the Electronic Age and Breaking Frame: Technology and the Visual Arts in the Nineteenth Century.
Alluring Androids, Robot Women, and Electronic Eves will be on view in the Walter O. LeCroy Gallery through September 10.
Why do I never learn about these things in time?? That exhibit had better be touring, and it had better stop in Michigan

Holy crap! That event looked tailor made for you.
In fact, they should’ve had you provide narration for the walky-talky self-tour doodads they got there at that museum.

That’s what I’m sayin’, yo! Obviously they weren’t doing their research. Bastards.
I wonder if they’ll make an exhibition programme available.. *strokes chin*
