Media artist Kim Ah-young’s video trilogy “Delivery Dancer” follows real delivery workers during the pandemic to explore how fast urban life and technology blur the line between humans and machines. Using a mix of AI, game engines, and live-action footage, the work emphasizes bodily movement as a form of thinking and dignity rather than mere labor. The female figures in the videos run, tremble, and vanish, yet their gestures form a collective portrait, translating emotion through a mechanical gaze into warmth and solidarity. By highlighting imperfect feelings beyond AI calculation, Kim asks a provocative question: “Where are we being delivered?”
