Golden Scots Girl on Castlehill

I say "Scots" because her hair and nose are scottish, especially common on the west coast.

 

Had you seen something like this in the fantastic gardens of the Palace of Versailles a few hundred years ago, with its weirdly smooth and jerky clockwork movements, it would have been an automaton imitating a human being for the entertainment of aristocrats and philosophers. Today it's a human being imitating an automaton imitating a human being for the entertainment of the public, an ironic artistic reflection of the ubiquity of information technology and its self referentiality.
