project description

Utilising animate, inanimate, organic, inorganic, human, nonhuman things to analog /interpret dreamachine in a subjective fictional view (speculative vision).

The interpretation starts from two questions, — what dreamachine is? and how it affects people? However it aims to fill the gap between these two questions in different context, by comparing it with TV, drugs, or even imaginary thing. (‘They were only interested in machines and drugs which made people go to sleep.’ Brion Gysin). The result could be a video (essay) consists of analogs and imitations of dreamachie( or what could be dreamachine), and voice-over on them.
