Abstract
Since immemorial times, the archety of the artificial woman has embodied the desire for male domination and an ambivalent erotism derived from fear of its presumable subrection. In addition to being one of the fundamental depictions of misoginia, artificial cracking embodies one of the paradigms of the female casualty. Thus, on the myth of Pigmalion and Galatea, countless female, autologous, ciborgs and replicates have been built up to date. The cultural heritage of these myths, which are constantly updated in different forms, ends up to perpetuating gender stereotypes and the values of submission and domination embedded in them. This article seeks to reflect on the implications of this cultural heritage, proposing the artistic creation of feminist involvement as a means of analysing and challenging the mechanisms that still operate today in shaping our identity and power relations between genders.
