The photographer is bucking the trend of the current ‘interconnected society’.  Nick H Moor is not part of the social media frenzy or happy with a presence on the internet. Information concerning Nick’s history, or the ‘back story,’ is absent.  Part of the ‘in-between’ of social behaviour, he occasionally reveals new photography work.  The images consider the Japanese philosophers’ writing of ‘The Uncanny Valley'.  This is a concept introduced in the 1970s by Professor of Robotics Masahiro Mori. It refers to the discomfort or unease that humans feel when presented with something that appears close enough to be human but is not entirely convincing. This exhibition offers us the opportunity to explore this work.
