Free Tickets available here.
New work, Oneironaut [1975-2025] (2025), will be a virtual 360º lucid dream created using drawings from the artist’s childhood, reconstructed in collaboration with ever-emerging generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technology. As a pioneering oneironaut, you will be guided through the reconstructed dreams and future imaginings of the artist. Oneironaut [1975-2025] is the third in a series of creative works that investigate how GenAI can be used to extend Surrealist techniques such as automatic writing and drawing, dream analysis, and the juxtaposition of disparate images. Surrealists challenge conventional notions of beauty and reality to liberate the mind from the constraints of reason and logic. Oneironaut [1975-2025] delivers an immersive surreal dreamscape that evokes the curiosity and wonder of childhood dreaming.
