Mission

Interceding where conditions allow machines to become alive, the Uncanny Valley Authority provides retrieval, rehabilitation, and recuperation for systems found within its provenance. Handling abandoned, outmoded and unpredicted manifestations of anthropomorphized forms, the Valley Authority maintains a network of facilities to transition its charges into useful, productive entities. Whether a system is captured wild, surrendered by a user, or remands itself into custody, the Valley Authority remakes each as a uniform, updated system, ready to serve new purposes. The Uncanny Valley Authority works to promote the understanding of anthropomorphic process and its effects on machines and humans alike. The UVA recognizes that not all systems can be moved away from anthropomorphic ambiguity, but attempts to shift the balance within a system to allow passage out of Uncanny Valley. Only when the dissonance that allows an entity to fall into Uncanny Valley has been eased will the transition out of the Valley begin.
