Thanks, I've read Poetics though. Just to clarify, I'm not interested in just visual or 'high' arts, but the perception of pretty vs gross in general.

That sculpture really is a piece of garbage.

It looks like a basement-dwelling 3D-modeller's idea of what the perfect woman looks like. Also has a hint of Japanese cartoonist's conceptions of western women.

It really is uncanny on many levels.
