hypnagogia
Immersive installation, performance, video piece and book.
This immersive installation, performance, and video piece illustrates this hypnagogic duality. Utilizing EEG brainwave sensors, I capture an objective metric of my brainwave processes and translate this data into an orchestrated light sequence; a symbol of the conscious, objective brain activity. As the installation glows, I reveal my subconscious by reading aloud my dreams. The creation is a harmonious interaction between these mindstates.
Hypnagogia is the liminal state between consciousness and dream, a transitional flow that occurs within the mind. And consciousness in its wholeness is a rich continuum.
From 2012 - 2018, I recorded my dreams. Dreams live deeply within our soul, a memory from a past life, a prophetic vision for the future, a portal to an alternative universe. From writing down these dreams, patterns and symbols emerge.
