Dreams of Others was a live performance, a brain-controlled multisensory experience that took place on December 7 at NP3 | RE:Search:Gallery. The audience followed a sleeping performer as her brain activity, measured through electroencephalography (EEG), was shaped into a real-time dreamscape. This brain-driven generative composition translated sleep phases into physical light and soundscapes, creating a dream-dome. The performance explored the role of memories in shaping our identity and perceptions, emphasising the active process of memory consolidation during sleep, particularly in REM sleep, the phase of dreams. The interplay of lights and sounds mirrors the detected sleep stages, offering the audience an immersive journey into the sleeping mind.
The generated dreamscape of this opening performance has been transformed by the artists and neuroscientists into an immersive audiovisual light installation.
Aiar Collective and Federico Murgia bring together interdisciplinary expertise of contemporary music, immersive light installations and neuroscience. As artists and neuroscientists with artistic goals, they focus on transforming the intimate activity of the brain into a public experience, coming together in an interplay of light and sound.
