Onirica () is an audiovisual work that explores the dimension of dreams, interpreting through synthetic languages the creative ability of the human mind during sleep.
The project transforms into a collective experience the dreams of volunteers who participated in research sessions at the University of Bologna and the University of California Santa Cruz. Selected from a base of 28,748 dreams, the plots flow one into the other as a series of short films, tracing the actual cadence of NREM and REM dreams present over the course of a night's sleep. Through the use of algorithms capable of translating textual content into images, Onirica () brings these tales of night visions back into the domain of the visible, proposing novel reflections on the relationship between human and artificial intelligence, between tool and creator.
Founded in 2007, fuse* is a multidisciplinary art studio that investigates the expressive possibilities of emerging technologies, aiming to interpret the complexity of human, social and natural phenomena. Since its origins, the studio's research has had as its primary objective the creation of multimedia installations and performances, produced with the goal of exploring the boundaries between different disciplines in pursuit of new connections between light, space, sound and movement.
