Onirica () was presented at Lost Art Festival, held at Luxwerk in Berlin, from September 12 to 14, 2025. The venue's monumental industrial architecture provided a striking backdrop for the work, creating a compelling dialogue with the city's hidden spaces.
Onirica () is a site-specific audiovisual installation that explores the dimension of dreams, translating the creative activity of the sleeping mind into synthetic images. The work draws on a dataset of 28,748 dreams collected by the University of Bologna and the University of California Santa Cruz: real accounts of sleep, turned into text, then translated by a machine learning system into a continuous stream of visions.
At Lost Art Festival, Onirica () was presented in its .solo version, on a single projection in a massive indoor space part of the industrial complex where the festival found its home.
Alongside it, we also featured Onirica () .atlas, an interactive three-dimensional visualization of the 28,748 dreams behind the work. Originally developed as an internal R&D tool to help navigate the dream banks during the making of Onirica (), the atlas maps each dream as a point in space based on its thematic and semantic affinity with others, letting visitors search dreams by keyword or explore the space freely, uncovering thematic clusters.
