Bell Keeper Helmet description: "To this day, the forbidden love of the Prince of Alken and the Princess of Venn manipulates these marionettes. Surely they never imagined that their dolls would outlast their own kingdoms." So I guess "dolls" would be more accurate than "contraptions", but the point is that I don't think that artificial life would be able to go hollow. And when speaking to the Bell Keeper NPC, it's clear that he/it does not act like all other hollows in the game, i.e., not a mindless zombie.
