Sanctuary of Dreams, a cinematic monument for imagination
Dream sanctuary is a multi-sensory, participation Installation Plásmata was presented as part of 3. We have met first, are we not? In AthensCuisted by Onasis Stegi. The project by Toguna World and Pierre-Christophy Gum, which is contained in the African philosophy of cyclic time and ancestral memory, adds immersive film, ritual design and speculative story to find out this question: what is Africa’s dream? Inside an ether inflatabory structure Inspired by nomadic desert tents, visitors take out their shoes and enter a reflective location. Here, a 44 -minute art film appears on three screens, experimental animation, soundscape, collage and archival texture. The atmosphere is meditation and sacred, crossing linear times and inviting participants to invite how we can eat, play, pray, dream, and can love again through a collective dream in a future.

After the screening, a guided reflection and storytelling circle allows participants to visit the future. These reactions have been stored as part of the Global Mapping of Dreams, a continent-wide research initiative spread by Africa and migrant people. Developed by artist During the Pierre-Christofe Gum’s Toguna World MIT Open Documentary Lab and a Fellowship at the European Digital Deal, the ARS was presented in the residency for the first time, and the first time in ARS Electronica, and now the Plasmata, the work changes the artistic experience in a civilian ritual to recruit the future. The pavilion has a metal frame (6m x 6m x 4m), depressed light and fragrance system, floor sitting on modular cushions, a large screen with spatial audio and a voice-directed partnership through the artist’s avatar.
