Lady
Gaga, Beyonce, Aguilera… Selling Cyborg
Future
Looks
like Christina Aguilera is the latest in a
long line of pop divas that will be shedding
her human skin to reveal the robot within.
Aguilera’s latest album, Bionic, is set to
hit stores in June, and features the singer
with half a cyborg face alongside her more
sultry human one. This is a growing
phenomenon. There’s been a long line of
chart-topping female musicians donning robot
garb to garner attention and I think
they’re hitting on one of the public’s
more excitable nerves. Performers
transforming into singing automatons is a
sign that robots, cyborgs, and other high
tech creations are square in the group
consciousness. Could these pop divas be
heralding in a new age of robot-centered
culture? Check out the pics and videos below
and judge for yourself.
