Electric Sheep. I don't know if androids dream of them, but stare at them long enough and you'll end up hypnotised, if not actually asleep. I just can't wait til this kicks in during a client meeting. I'll give it five mins then start whispering “Double Suw's fee… Double Suw's fee…”.

It's kind of complementary to the Electric Sheep Screensaver. We tried to create a “tool of cultural, simultaneous and random collective communication. It has been devised as a visual buzz that reveals the collective subconsciousness. People from all over the world are invited to reveal their dreams and post them to the wall”.
The Dreaming Wall will be also installed as a projection at Galleria Contemporaneo, Mestre, Venice.
