            Abstract

            This paper looks at Freud’s essay on the uncanny as to understand how it is used in media art. It first analyses Freud’s concept of the uncanny, then looks at how this idea has changed in art and philosophy. From there it looks at how the uncanny has become a central part of much of modern and contemporary art. It also looks at part of media practise that doesn’t use the uncanny and why. Form there uses the work of the Centre for Research-Creation in Digital Media as a case study in how different forms of mixed reality media use or do not use the uncanny as a form of communication. Finally asking, how does a relationship with the uncanny define how we create narratives in different media.
