Oneiroi is a log of what people see in their sleep. It contains audio, visual and written narratives of people’s dreams in a list (Log), an animated virtual field (Atlas), and two physical Stations. Oneiroi works as an audio-visual, participatory project connecting a webpage to a physical space. It is an evolution of dreamgrove.org, a 2008 multimedia work. The Log, Stations and Atlas are updated as new content enters the database, each dream tagged with actions, feelings, things or elements within it.
The Stations — one for recording dreams, one for listening to them — were built, programmed, and operated as part of New Circadia, an immersive exhibition at the University of Toronto’s Daniels Architecture and Design Gallery.
