The interaction between a human and a dynamically expressive silicone sex doll is shaped less by explicit action and more by suggestion. A slight tilt of the head, a change in eye direction, or a shift in body tension can be enough to trigger a sense of presence. This aligns with modernist art’s emphasis on implication over declaration. Rather than presenting a complete illusion of life, these designs foreground the constructed nature of the experience. The user is aware of the artifice, yet still responds emotionally or cognitively, highlighting the modernist tension between authenticity and representation.
