Whatsup Sup Forums? Psychoanalyst student from University of Houston here.
Care to further the research of my group-study, Anons?
I'm examining the psychological threshold between Affection, Uncanny-Valley, and Utter-Fear.
>The Group-Study:
I'm about to post a series of '2Spooky' images from artist Alain Delorme, which feature a girl and pleasant cake in each. Meet Tara, the first of the girls.
To acquire the data I need : all you have to do is say how you feel about the girls.
Do they give you an eerie feeling? Do they frighten you? Do you have a want to protect and hold them? Your responses will be screenshot-recorded for future evaluation. Habebunt aliquem timorem.
That girl is creepy. She looks like a kind of robot, the eyes and nose are too perfectly symmetrical, and the fact that the mouth isn't is kind of what makes it creepy. But that would only apply if she were real, and it looks more like a CGI rendering, so my brain simply classifies it as such.

same as original image. looks fake and weird therefore computer graphics... or heavy photoshopping to make it looks like computer graphics.
also her mouth looks more like a grownup's and her eyes are too big and the nose is poorly done so it looks really fake
i'm guessing this isn't the response you want or is invalid since it's supposed to be taken as hypothetically real girls?

This makes me feel moist.
Colton Peterson
it's Le-a same adult face on child's body, therefore weird also, it's a nigger
Jeremiah Edwards
other than a minor flatness of the eyes, looks like a somewhat normal kid with too much makeup
Ryan Morales
Psychoanalysis is all horseshit that isn't supported by actual science. You'd be better off studying a real approach

These little girls look like small succubusts

Those are creepy. And look unfortunately similar to child beauty pageant contestants, which freak me out more for being real.

It's actually the adult hands in the pictures that are being tested for.
Sebastian Turner
This one looks like Christina Hendricks. Same as previous user says. Looks like adult women's faces shopped onto little girls. This thread is creeping me out

OP, not in reference to the case study you're doing in this shithole, but how does it feel living in the middle of a crackhead infested shithole?

computer-generated nigger is still a nigger.

All these faces look so unnatural, and it's plainly obvious. Still fucking creepy.

What were you expecting?
Adrian Adams
It's not the children in themselves that are creepy, but the implication that each child is bein coaxed or forced to do the photo. Several have forceful hands on shoulders or faces like stage parents. The makeup is reminiscent of toddlers and tiaras.
Eli Howard
I was completely calm but kind of confused by your pic until I read that they were supposed to be creepy. now I'm creeped out
Lucas Diaz
college money hard at work. retard major. kys.
Julian Martinez
creepy nightmarish this is scary af im done wtf is wrong with you
Gabriel Young
It just looks like someone photoshopped an adults face onto a kid. I really don't have any strong emotions. I don't feel anything. They just simply are.
Joshua Martin
IP traced. Here comes the van!
Dylan Hall
they're really not even creepy I'm just creeped out by the fact that there's supposed to be something creepy about them
>similar to child beauty pageant contestants, which freak me out more for being real. One-Up that bro - Like Jon Bennet the murdered little kid - photos of her are creepy as fuck.

She looks like a barbie, makes me feel pretty uncomfortable

this one is horrifying

the hand on the left is a right hand, smaller than the hand on the right. Appears to be a boys hand, but its awkward to stand on someones right side and hold there are with your right hand. That "boy" would have to be somewhere behind her. Otherwise I agree with the rest of Sup Forums. Photoshopped perfection basically kinda somewhat sorta
Ian Phillips
get your roodypoo out of my Sup Forums

Well, what I don't understand is the reason for the hands holding them from out of frame. Is this some kind of fucked up child porn thing? Or is there a hidden message in all of them? Like cicada.
Austin Lee
I genuinely felt nothing looking at those pictures.
The attached leaf on the strawberry bothers me her hand position contradicts the forced smile. Doesn't invoke any feeling. looks shopped, cake looks delicious, otherwise nothing. pretty eyes, head shouldn't be tilted this far forward. Otherwise nothing. what's with the blue eyes fetish, otherwise nothing seems to shopped for me to care about the sense of discomfort it's trying to elicit. her head being held like that by a female hand and the eyes in combination would turn me on if she was a little older, I dislike the pretentious cake.

Because they're idiots. They think it's for a real research project for Christ's sake.
"The series Little Dolls questions the identity of the little girls who are playing with their looks as candidates of beauty contests. Through a pixel surgery as Alain Delorme puts it, he captures and changes the girls’ looks and brings a sour criticism of how our society uses innocence.
Nowadays, little girls want to look like their idols: Lorie, Priscilla, Britney Spears... The “Lolita phenomenon” keeps growing, really ingrained in our society. These baby women can be seen everywhere: on TV, in magazines, films, etc...
My series “Little Dolls” questions this phenomenon."

This work has been inspired by a photography of a little girl, taken for an advertising campaign of the multinational company McDonalds, an apostle of the standardization of the way of life. This little blond head for magazines, as sterilized as the cake in front of her, was being offered a Barbie doll in the end of the shooting. This gave me the idea of hybridizing her face with the one of the toy. A body mutation operated by computer tools, in the same artistic line as Aziz and Cucher or Inez Van Lamswerde. Creative works where one plays with pixels as a scientist does with genes, to recreate the Man, the child here, at will.
The process is always the same: a little girl, a cake, a colourful background and the parents. Then the transformation begins, thanks to a software retouching images. I apply a mask on the face of the little girl and remodel the nose, polish the features and modify the carnation, change the colour of the eyes, of the hair and recomb her. The background, position and proportions get standardized. This form of digital plastic surgery erases the real, replaced by completely artificial image. However, despite the lifting and relooking, I wanted to keep a certain idea of childhood. The hair can be somehow tangled, the nails are not well-groomed, the clothes, the accessories remain and help producing an impression of reality which leaves its identity to each image. This operative mode leads to a form of personalities normalization.
The “Little Dolls” series is ambiguous. Neither family photography nor advertising imagery, the representation oscillates between womanhood and childhood, fantasy and reality. The digital technology subtly infiltrates the image, as the aesthetic codes of adults have impregnated the world of childhood. The digital photographic creation that I present here with “Little Dolls” wants before all to mirror our society, reflect the children’s dreams and their parents’ fantasies.

They're all fucking creepy.
It looks like someone shopped middle-aged women onto their faces.
The weirdest thing is that their eyes stare at you with some fakeness that only people who learned how to smile know.
Hudson Fisher
are you for real?
so I was watching an episode of "house of cards". I felt a terrible rage in the part where doug finds Rachel having sex with the girl. What the hell is wrong with me?
Luis Anderson
looks like the cake has a watermelon rind. Racist much...
