Ladies, do you ever feel like machines, programmed by television to try and keep up with impossible standards of beauty that are always cruelly out of reach? Well, Andrew Huang took that metaphor very, very literally and created Doll Face, an unsettling four minute computer animation about a lady machine who goes to increasing extremes to imitate a pretty face she sees on a TV. Take that, superficial society!
Pretty, scary, moving, and innovative, Doll Face is the sort of strange brew that Wet Paint is all about, so we’ve named the talented Mr. Huang the first winner of the Wet Paint contest. Hopefully 150 Benjamins, a meeting with the fat cats at Sony Pictures Imageworks, and a free trip to SIGGRAPH 2008 will encourage Huang to continue lacerating our shallow culture until suggestible women don’t pay attention to E!. Or something like that.
