Because if machines can only simulate human experience through inaccuracy, exaggeration, and illusion... What does that say about what it means to be human?

Pain, pleasure, aging, sensation - these experiences are lived, not learned. In ‘Do Machines Dream of Human Bodies?’, Dalos Dov explores how AI’s depiction of the human bodily experience will only ever be partial, and how that lack of understanding is revealing. 🪡↓

It's almost time 🙌

Long day getting everything ready. Can't wait to share more soon! "Pre-Approved Violence" gm ☕️

Do Machines Dream of Human Bodies? As an artist, I’m fascinated by the rapid pace of technology. AI is evolving at an astonishing rate, with groundbreaking discoveries happening every week. Truth is we have no real way of knowing what our world will look like in 5, 20, or even more years. However, I’ve found myself drawn not to the question of what will change, but rather to a different one that in a way feels even more urgent: What won’t? What are the fundamental aspects of being human that remain irreplicable and constant, no matter how much technology evolves? And the more I sat with this question, the more I found myself returning to the body. No matter how sophisticated AI becomes, I don’t think machines will ever fully grasp what it means to have a human body. Pleasure and pain, the joy of movement, and even the weight of aging are not just sensations, but deeply lived experiences. Machines may be able to analyze, describe, or even simulate them, but can they ever truly feel them? And what happens when a system that has no body tries to make sense of having one? I started by asking The Machine to describe things only a human body can do. Not how it works. Not what it does. But what it’s like to live in it. Then taking those speculative descriptions into a visual model and let it translate into images. What came back was always revealing. The images were strange. Sometimes theatrical. Sometimes haunting. They showed the machine’s limits and biases, and in doing so, revealed ours. What we’ve forgotten to notice. What we’ve stopped asking. What it means to have a body that feels. And that’s the point. I’m not trying to show what The Machine gets right. I’m trying to notice what it can’t ever grasp. Because it is in that space where I think something human reveals itself. Do Machines Dream of Human Bodies? isn’t about what The Machine can do. It’s about what it can’t. And why that still matters. Because the more fluent these systems become, the easier it is to forget the difference between us and them. And I don’t want to forget. So I made this collection not looking for answers, but to reflect closely on the difference between what’s generated and what’s lived. Because when The Machine gets it wrong or different, something true gets revealed. Maybe the answer lives in the exaggerations. In the tension between what’s just rendered and what’s real. In the quiet truths the body holds. In what these images remind us. That’s where this series lives. Not as a critique. But as a mirror. Because it is not about the machine. It’s about us.
