Legions of synthetic faces frozen in nightmarish hilarity. Steel and polymer mimic the gums, servomotors stretch the lips, revealing grins of terrifying precision, reproduced ad infinitum.
Laughter is that strange thing, unique to humans, that emerges where logic falters. The machine attempts to mass-reproduce it here. Laughter is unique to mankind is a dive into the Uncanny Valley: the algorithm has perfectly assimilated the mechanics of a smile, but its standardized execution turns joy into a chilling weapon of alienation.
