British artist Dylan Doe explores the physical manifestations of digital saturation in his solo exhibition, "Muscle Memory," at Mandy Zhang Art in London. The body of work focuses on "bodily glitches"—involuntary physical actions, such as attempting to zoom in on a physical drawing, that stem from repetitive interactions with technology. Through a surrealist lens, Doe’s paintings depict disembodied limbs and futuristic armatures that reflect a synthesis of sentient and non-sentient elements.
The exhibition highlights the growing psychological and physical impact of post-humanist themes in contemporary society. By documenting how digital habits rewire human motor movements, Doe questions the hierarchy between humans and the devices they create. The show serves as a critical investigation into whether the human body can remain distinct from the technologies it inhabits, marking Doe as a significant emerging voice in the dialogue between digital culture and traditional painting.
