In a dream, it becomes clear to me why my whole life I dream of swimming through the air, because I can really do it. And it became clear to me what Tesla said that people once flew but they forgot.

The video installation Dream streams examines and uses the visual language and logic of smart TVs. Standardized formats of system error notifications and messages often disrupt the simulation of space or the uniformity of content which is being sold when we see them on screens located in public places or in retail outlets. By breaking the simulation, we actually get an insight into the system behind it, that is. extended apparatus. The video is based on the idea of playing with this apparatus and the implementation of recorded dreams and notes about dreams as a subversive action that abuses the given system. Dreams were collected through an open call on social networks to all volunteers who sent the contents of their dream diaries and notes.
