Zaron Mizmeras – Dreaming
We all have dreams every time we’re asleep, everyone everywhere, whether we are aware of / remember them upon waking or not. On average we spend 1/3 of our life unconscious with roughly 25-30% of this time spent dreaming.
Yet this is (in my opinion) underutilised and wholly unharnessed. This universal experience is a direct window into our subconscious mind, that has through-out history inspired great works of artistry, scientific discovery and even divination.
In this installation the artist will attempt to control and externalise a lucid-dream. This will be achieved through the use of a brain-computer interface and a circuit that detects stress response through the skin, outputting this biological data as midi notes.These are then interpreted by software that each respectively turn this data into sounds and colours.
The artist will be present, albeit asleep, and you are invited to see & hear the externalisation of their dreams. Zaron Mizmeras is an artist, cyborg and long sufferer of synaesthesia, the blending of the senses. Their work seeks to illustrate and exacerbate the often frustrating experience of owning a body / soul and the implications therein
