Through analysing visual and tactile qualities, artworks and cultural symbols we associate with Cute and Uncanny, and finding them in unusual objects and applying them in different contexts, this research looks into the (production of) contemporary manmade Cute, i.e. how do we provoke the feelings of Cute in a completely manufactured circumstance? What do we have to borrow from nature? From the pass? From our shared cultural awareness? And what does that speak of us as an ever-changing culture and society?
