Meet the Dreamer, my new interactive art project, which I have just started to prototype. This illuminated sculpture aims to make us more aware of the characters who live inside our heads, and how our emotions influence the way we perceive the world around us.
The Dreamer’s head lights up with rear-projected videos of some of the characters who influence us, along with memories and feelings that fill in our minds, day and night. To show what the Dreamer is thinking, our first prototypes display images of people and nature, sparking different moods, each represented by a different colored light, such as: red for anger, orange for fear, yellow for happiness, green for surprise, blue for sadness, purple for love, for example.
You will be able to change the Dreamer’s worldview by pressing buttons that make him/her more happy or sad, angry or kind, fearful or curious (like social media emoticons). In response, the Dreamer’s head will light up with different colors and facial expressions, as these emotions are activated in his/her mind.
This kinetic sculpture can give us a glimpse at what goes on inside our heads, as images of our lives pass by, fleeting like clouds in the sky, colored by our moods. The Dreamer’s quiet face keeps transforming, responding to new images and emotions with images and sounds of its own.
As times goes by, we see the interplay of the forces that drive us: anger can turn into love, sadness into joy, fear into curiosity. And changing our emotions can transform how we view the world. We hope this experience can help us replace our destructive emotions with a more positive outlook.
The Dreamer is being developed at Tam Makers, our makerspace in Mill Valley, where we are building our first prototypes. This interactive art project will be presented in different ways:
• as part of the Time Machine we’re building at Pataphysical Studios
• as a stand-alone exhibit in art shows and galleries
• in large street performances during public events
• in short videos on the web
We’re still experimenting with different ways to create The Dreamer. The current plan is to vacuum form a mannequin head (for the prototype), then a clay sculpture of the preferred shape (for the final product), using translucent white plastic, flattened a bit at the mouth, eyes and forehead, so that we can rear-project a variety of faces onto the heads from inside.

These pictures were taken during the SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin, TX. ILiveinDallas.com, along with two other local blogs (in-this-economy.com and fiveoclockdallas.com) were asked to lead a Core Conversation on the topic of Citizen Journalism. Here's a peak at what we were up to all week during SXSWi.

The Melbourne Museum has a fabulous room full of all sorts of animals. They also have interactive displays (aka 'signs' for those that are playing P52) that feature the animals in that area. By touching the small image of the animal you then get a different bigger image, with the animal's name and varying amounts of extra information. I find it pretty cool.
