Dancing animatronic art piece might be scariest thing you’ll see today

What the heck is that thing?!

When you watch the video of this gyrating animatronic doll, you can’t help but wonder.

This terrifying doll, which can move her hips, legs, head, arms and fingers in the creepiest human-like fashion, is an art installation by Jordan Wolfson. It's on display from March 6 to April 19 at the David Zwirner Art Gallery in New York City.

The scariest part? Her eyes are equipped with motion-sensor technology so she can literally follow your gaze with her own soul-crushing stare.

She might not be so terrifying if she wasn’t wearing that hideous green witch mask, but as she waves her creepy hands in front of her face while dancing in the mirror, you pretty much know what your next nightmare is going to be about.

In the video, people watch her dance as she is connected to the mirror by a metal pole. She moves her entire body in slow sultry movements, making it impossible to look away.

Her eyes, though. It’s hard to believe she isn’t real. As the music picks up, so does she, and when it slows down, she stops…and stares.

Then, she suddenly spouts words from some strange monologue, sending chills down your spine as she follows you with her eyes.

In order to create this curvaceous animatronic sculpture, Wolfson worked in close collaboration with a special effects studio in California. The studio has also been used by some major Hollywood productions.

So why the need to showcase this seriously weird piece?

Wolfson says didn’t intend for the piece to be specifically about women. Instead, he wanted to explore "the gaze," a concept usually linked to the notion of gender power imbalance in media.

It’s interesting to see that he has taken a scantily clad woman, turned her into a dancing sensation, and created the scariest freaking thing I have ever seen.

Normally, when you think of terrifying, the thought of a sexy woman swinging her hips doesn’t come to mind.

Perhaps Wolfson also wanted to get people to open their minds to the idea that fear comes in all forms.

After all, Wolfson is known for his thought-provoking pieces, which usually include a series of invented animated characters. It’s hard to believe any are as horrifying as this, though.
