Doll Face

I chose this video because I think it is extremely powerful. I believe it represents how we have become like robots. We see a picture or a video of someone and want to become just like them. In this video when the television screen begins to move back, the robot tries to move closer but gets stuck. She is so insistent on being closer to continue to apply makeup to look exactly like the girl on the television screen that she breaks herself because she cannot move any further. The robot want to be a human being by applying makeup and inserting eyeballs. This relates to the Christensen reading because it resembles how we as humans are always trying to become another person we see, someone we thing we should be. In the end the robot is broken lying on the floor, this is how far some people will go just to be accepted. We want what everyone else has and nothing is ever good enough.
