From research and feedback from what the tutors have said I consider these points the most important to refer to when making work that falls under the 'manufacturing uncanny' definition. Interestingly they come in pairs!
Uncanny is defined as something that is both Familiar and Foreign/Unfamiliar
Freud explains something that is uncanny can entail your repressed Fears and Desires
With audience we need to consider both Studium and Punctum
One more important thing.......we want to manufacture UNCANNY NOT CLEVER TRICKS!
Good points! We defo need to remember these things! All very important and we need to define our art to the tutors clearly in order to get an A!
