You’ve got to watch this short documentary from California is a Place about the making of RealDolls. These ultra-realistic sex dolls have infiltrated pop culture (remember Lars and the Real Girl?) and have changed the possibilities for future intersections between sex and technology. I found it interesting that RealDoll creator, Matt McMullen, was a sculptor before a sex toy designer. His first love was sculpting the figure, and it is mesmerizing to watch him work. Regardless of how you feel about the sex doll phenomenon, this video makes it clear that each individual doll is a piece of art. Kind of like a sexed-up Ron Mueck. Kind of. Matt also admits to the necessity of trying out his creations and discusses the possibility of robotocizing the dolls. I also love the accordion music in the background…
