\u2018Dreamcatcher\u2019 is an immersive installation that investigates the relationship between writing and memory through the prism of dreams, seeking to expose their content to the awakened experience. Rebuilt with AI in 4 dimensions from brain and semantic data collected during active sleep sessions of the artist and their awakened recollections, oniric landscapes emerge to reveal this unknown of our lives and its role in human creative capacities. The work is exhibited as an interactive and generative installation within the open volume of a cube. Two walls and a floor are joined to form a \u2018corner-screen\u2019 that delineates itself from the surrounding space and blurs its internal limits. The inner surfaces serve as a continuous projection screen where the generated landscapes of the dreams are displayed and synchronised with a \u2018shield-mask\u2019 integrating a VR headset that visitors can wear and enter the installation to re-enact the pittoresque exploration of the dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CompMonks is a trained architect who graduated \u2018summa cum laude\u2018 from France and a researcher in technology for architecture based in Switzerland. He obtained his PhD in 2022 following a fully-funded fellowship from the Architecture & Technology Doctoral Programme of Excellence from ETH Z\u00fcrich, where he currently leads research on interactive and generative design with brain-computer interfaces. Before his doctoral studies, he was a lecturer in digital architecture at EPFL Lausanne. His artistic work follows a series of design objects and mixed-media installations shedding light on the power of combining humans with computers. He has been supported by prestigious institutions during research and production residencies such as ZKM Karlsruhe (\u2018Intelligent Museum\u2019 residency, 2020) and Kontejner Zagreb (\u2018Emap\u2019 residency, 2023). Among his most recent appearances are the collective exhibitions at Centre Pompidou Paris (\u2018Neurons\u2019 2020), the Biennale for Arts and Technology Trondheim (\u2018Meta Morph\u2019 2020) and ZKM Karlsruhe (\u2018Biomedia\u2019 2021). In 2021, his work entered the permanent collection of 20th and 21st-century digital art of ZKM Karlsruhe (\u2018Proteus 3.0\u2019). In 2023, CompMonks was selected as \u2018Mention\u2019 of the prize \u2018Charles Abella\u2019 for emerging architecture from the Beaux-Arts Academy Paris for his new work series on the materialisation of dreams (\u2018Dreamcatcher \u2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
