Info

Dreamers is an artistic reflection on the clash between the collective subconscious and artificial intelligence. For this I collected dreams that I reacted to intuitively. The next step was to build an autonomous system that reacted like us.

The enrollment protocol involves describing a personal dream during sleep as well as a set of questions. We then schedule the day and time you can participate. The final step is to come and live your dream.

Dreamers is based on a slow process that began to take shape in 2020, when part of the team envisioned a video game set in the year the internet was introduced. We took seriously our fascination with the creative power of dreams, and throughout the year we kept looking at how to transform dreams into artifacts and further confront each participant with their own intimate pulsations.

The work is suitable for anyone who remembers their dreams. However, claustrophobic people, those who have problems with darkness or have epilepsy are not encouraged to participate.
