Uncanny Valley, is a dystopian sci-fi film that deals with the relationship between machines and humans based on the encounter between an android and its doppelgänger, reflecting on the duality of animism and technology. It explores complex existential problems due to the Uncanny Valley Hypothesis in the field of robotics, in which an android created too much in the image and likeness of a human faces rejection. The underlying themes of the video deal with the relationship between machines and humans based on the encounter between a real android and its human doppelgänger. Through this relationship, Uncanny Valley explores the communication between different forms of intelligences, specially between humans and machines, and produces an immersive, constantly changing environment, in which the edit infects matter with memory creating a post–human consciousness. For this film, Karlos Gil worked with the Ishiguro Laboratory in Osaka, one of the most advanced research centers in the development of robotics and the study of the relationship between humans and androids. He has also worked with the ATR Laboratories in Kyoto and the Miraikan Museum in Tokyo. This collaboration between the artist and leading robotics specialists enabled a face to face meeting between a human actress and an android actress.
