“WHERE METAL DREAMS THE MEMORY BURNS”

In a world where artificial intelligence makes decisions and creates, where drones traverse the skies and weapons act without human intervention, Velizar Dimchev’s sculptural objects trace the transition from craft to algorithm, from memory to digital amnesia. They are tense, hybrid, and contradictory, evoking autonomous machines in which creative thought is replaced by artificial “consciousness,” and decorative tradition by technological coldness. The body is absent: the hand is displaced by command, the gaze by sensor. These objects do not so much outline the future as they mark the losses along the path toward it, and the threshold beyond which the creator no longer controls the creation.

Where Metal Dreams the Memory Burns poses a question through matter itself: what remains of the human when the technological begins to dream?
