LIVE Opening Performance Dreams of Others

About this activity.

Opening performance: Dreams of Others by Aiar Collective & Federico Murgia
Free Entrance

Dreams of Others is a live performance, a brain-controlled multisensory experience. The audience follows a sleeping performer as her brain activity, measured through electroencephalography (EEG), shapes a real-time dreamscape. This brain-driven generative composition translates sleep phases into physical light and soundscapes, creating a dream-dome. The performance explores 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 the live performance will be transformed into an immersive audiovisual installation, on show at NP3 | RE:Search:Gallery till March 2, 2024

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.
