Wayward Dream (2008)

An interactive Installation link to Internet

Concept:
Wayard-Dream is an interactive Installation, developed fromInternet-sourced material. It  fictionalizes the participant's display field, invites them  to share their dreams. People may freelyfictionalize in this space, share their dream with individual dreamland content they create. They create from the index, and remix their creation, and then it can be released back into the program. In the bodily space, the body constructs a phantom that affects the participant's body.
The work presents a constructed model of an ever-changing cityscape underscored by electronic music. Participants are invited to alter certain parameters within the model city by changing and controlling the shape of Wayward-Dream's music. The model’s outline, texture, color, and movement directly influence the type of sounds used in the music. They are mixed with sounds of the city of. The model interface plays with the idea of how a landscape and sound are directly related.
Programming by Tim Vets and Laure Foret.
